Ye are not Your Own

Let us remember as such who have been reconciled and have redemption through His blood that we are bought with a price. “Ye are not your own for ye are bought with a price, therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s” (1 Cor. vi:20). Through His death we are positionally dead; all who believe on Him have died. We are dead to the law, to the world, to sin. But are we truly living, walking and acting as such who have died, dead to sin and alive unto God? A child of God who walks after the flesh practically denies the power and value of the blessed finished work of Christ on the cross.

Let us exalt in our lives, by our words and deeds, the cross of Christ. “But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world” (Gal. vi:14).
