Holiness and Sanctification
• Watch Bible Project: Holiness
• The root of holy (hagios) is the same word for saint. But a better term is to be a “holy one”
Judgement based on works
• Ransom: Lutron in Greek. Means the price of release or manumission (release from slavery). In its primary usage, the lutron/kōpher referred to neither a sacrifice for sin nor a punishment for transgression, but a price of release or a price of return.
• Luke uses Lutrosin (from Lutron) to describe the Exodus in Luke 1:68 and 2:38, and the verb form in 24:21, and the compound in 21:28. Luke, Mark, and Matthew all use this word to talk about slaves being set free, specifically in an Exodus motif.
• This is the ransom atonement theory which is often conflated with substitution.
• To answer the ageold question “who was the ransom paid to?” (God, the Devil, Death?) we need to look at the exodus because Peter is connecting this word ransom/redemption to Jesus’ blood.
Blood and Exodus
A few things to notice…
• In this there is no one getting paid off. Not debts are getting collected. The gods are getting their butts kicked and slaves are being set free.
• The blood represents life as we see in Leviticus. So, the blood/life of the lamb gives life to those in the house. Death does not touch them.
• The blood has nothing to do with sin or forgiveness in Exodus. It’s about protection in a cosmic battle. It marks out God’s people from God’s enemies.
