Not silver and gold (I Peter 1:18): no amount of redemption money could buy us out of sin’s market, “nothing but the blood of Jesus.” Not flesh and blood: We are born of the Spirit, (John 1:13), and no mere flesh and blood can enter God’s Kingdom. Not by might nor power (Zechariah 4:6): God’s work must be done by God’s people in God’s way by God’s power.
