Bought With A Price ~ We are Christ's Purchased Possession
However,
if Christ owns you - your life, your heart, your mind, soul, and
body, your possessions which are really not your own - then your life
measures up to a life lived for the glory of God in Christ. Those who
belong to Christ were BOUGHT WITH A PRICE. Christ has redeemed His
people and bought them with His own precious blood. He has justified
them by His
blood and brought them into His family forever and
ever.
Those
who belong to Christ are to spend their lives glorifying God - "For
ye are bought witha price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in
your spirit, which are God's" (1
Corinthians
6:20). Those who belong to Christ serve God, not men --
"Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men"
(1 Corinthians
7:23). The sinner saved by God's grace is worth more than all
that the world has to offer, not because of any worthiness in
himself, but because of His worthiness in Christ - "WORTHY IS
THE LAMB THAT
WAS SLAIN" (Revelation
5:12).
