"And if you call on him as Father who judges impartially according to each one's deeds, conduct yourselves with fear throughout the time of your exile, knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot."
Those of us who know God as our Father are called to holy living. We are to live in a holy fear or reverence. We are not to develop an overinflated view of ourselves. We were following the futile ways of those who came before us, but God ransomed us out of our futility. He bought us by the blood of Christ, the blood of the lamb.
