You Have Been Purchased by God
Dr RJ Sing
“For God has bought you with a great price. So, use every part of your body to give glory back to God because he owns it.”
Now that you have been purchased by God, you now fully belong to Him. Every owner has the responsibility 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, too, in those days, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will cleverly tell their lies about God, turning against even their Master who bought them; but theirs will be a swift and terrible end.” 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 union can there be between God's temple and idols? For you are God's temple, the home of the living God, and God has said of you, I will live in them and walk among 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.
