God Paid A
High Price For You,
So Don’t Be Enslaved By The World.



Scripture

1 Corinthians 7
23 God paid a high price for you, so don’t be enslaved by the world.

1 Corinthians 6
²⁰ for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body.

Observation

Why should you and I live differently than the rest of the world?

Because God has purchased us, we have been blood bought with the precious blood and sacrifice of God’s only Son, Jesus Christ!

The world still wants to enslave us even though God has set us free from the bondage of sin!

Lets not make excuses for our being enslaved. There is no excuse.

“I can’t quit.” “I have tried a lot of times but I just can’t quit.” Yes, we can!

Here is why we can, “For I can do everything with the help of Christ who gives me the strength I need.”  Philippians 4:13, “The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you…”Romans 8:11

Mark 10:45

For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

1 Peter 1:18
 For you know that God paid a ransom to save you from the empty life you inherited from your ancestors. And it was not paid with mere gold or silver, which lose their value.

Job19:25
“But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, and he will stand upon the earth at last.

Application

I will help and encourage those who are breaking free from the power and grip of sin. Realizing that I too am just a sinner saved by God’s grace. How about you?

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You for redeeming me from the destruction of sin. I have been bought with a high price. Help me to never forget what it cost You to buy me back from the punishment of sin. You paid a high price, a huge ransom for me. Help me not to become enslaved to this world. I have been set free.

I pray for those that may be reading this blog that realize that they have become enslaved in some area of his or her life and are struggle to break free. Show them that they can overcome anything if they will totally trust You and depend on You to set them free. Set them free today from whatever it is that they are struggling with and that they want to quit. Set them free!
