I Have Been Purchased by God!
Dr RJ Sing
“For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.”
Now that you have been purchased by God, you now fully belong to him. Every owner has the responsibilty to take care of what belongs to Him. Now that God owns you, He has the obligation to take care of you in every respect. Whether it is spiritual or material the Lord will take care of it. Therefore, do not let your heart be troubled. God is for you and not against you.
In a further verse of Scripture, we see again that the Lord has bought His people:*“But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.”,2 Peter 2:1.*
This is so wonderful. Now that you belong to God, you are to glorify Him in your body and in your spirit because they both belong to God. *“And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in [them]; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.”2 Corinthians 6:16. You now belong to God in all respects
