From v.13, Peter exhorts the brethren to a holy walk in the fear of God, and he supports his exhortation with various reasons, such as our relationship to God as his children, God's holiness, the commands of Scripture, and the day of judgment, etc.
vv.18-19 give a further weighty reason for living in godly fear – Christ's atonement.
Since you have been redeemed from sin at so great a cost – even by the very blood of the Son of God, you are obligated to live for him in holiness (cf. 1 Corinthians 6:20).
How inconsistent would it be for one who has been purchased by this precious blood to then live in a worthless way according to the world!
Here we ponder this glorious word, "redemption" and the truths contained in it, that we might receive it and be transformed by it.
