1 Peter 1: 18-19 (NKJV) ~ 

18knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, 19but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.

God Redeemed us not by government issued- currencies or other physical commodities that the world considers most valuable which are all temporary and will all perish. These stores of value are empty of power in redeeming eternal life and salvation. But only by the imperishable blood of the Lamb of God we are free eternally. 

To have eternal life there must exist a permanent payment. Jesus’ blood is eternal life. Thus, God did not pay with a depreciating resource. Because He redeemed us for eternal life, only through His eternal life, Jesus’ blood, are we free for eternity. 

Remember, the redemption of our eternal souls is a matter of love from our Creator above.
