Bought with a Price
For ye are bought with a price. 1 Corinthians 6:20
We have been redeemed at infinite cost--the precious blood of the Son of God Himself. No longer do we belong to ourselves to “do our own thing.” Actually we shouldn’t even want to do those things again if they are contrary to that good and perfect will of God (Rom. 12:2). Now we belong to both God the Father and God the Son (Jn. 17:10). If we love and obey the Lord Jesus, He and the Father will make their abode with us (Jn. 14:23)! Can you believe it? And there is more still--the Lord Jesus says that He is glorified in us (Jn. 17:10)! In us? May we never cause Him grief or shame. --Gertrud Harlow
He freely redeemed with His blood, my soul from the confines of hell,
To live on the smiles of my God, and in His sweet presence to dwell. --Francis
