1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (NKJV) 19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? 20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.
We are not our own.
We do not belong to ourselves.
If you are a believer, a follower of Christ, you do not belong to yourself. Let me say this again: We do not own ourselves.
There are a lot of implications that come from this… a lot of things that we have to take into consideration as we walk through our lives.
As we go through our daily lives, as we’re faced with decisions and choices, we should always put God first and know that whatever direction we take should line up with what God wants us to do.
It doesn’t matter whether it’s finances, job choices, relationships, where we live or anything else. We are not our own.
We were bought at a price and it was a very high price indeed. Jesus laid down His life for us, to buy us, to redeem us from our sins. We are now His.
Romans 14:7-8 (NKJV) 7 For none of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself. 8 For if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s.
So as you face the day today, do so knowing that you belong to God and that He deserves our all. He deserves our very best. We belong to Him, body and spirit.
Give Him your best.
