YOU ARE BOUGHT

To God you are priceless, but to the devil you are worthless. Everyone can be bought,and is bought for the right price or reason, and your worth is dependent on your value,to whomever.How much you are worth and who owns you is totally dependent on you. You can be bought cheap or expensive,valuable or worthless. However, if you are bought cheap then you have no value, but if you are worth something then you have exquisite value.

How do you know your value? Simple, if you can be bought with money, a house, a car, good looks or anything in this world ,then you are not valuable and the devil owns you,because in his eyes you are cheap and a worthless piece of trash. However,in God’s eye’s we are all valuable,that’s why He sent His only begotten Son,to die for us,as we see in John 3:16-17,For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son,that whosoever believers in Him should not perish,but have everlasting life. For Got sent not His Son to condemn the world,but that the world through Him might be saved. So who owns you ? The choice is yours. “Ye are bought with a price;be not ye servants of men”{ 1 Corinthians 7:23}. Therefore, if you are purchased by the Blood of Jesus (Acts 20:28) then you are priceless to God (Matthew 6:26), you are valuable (Luke 12:7).

What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom ye have of God and 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 Corinthians 6:19-20). However, if any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy, for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are (1Corinthians 3:17).

Who bought you? Who do you belong to? As Hebrews 4:16 suggests, “Let us,therefore, come boldly unto the throne of grace,that we may obtain mercy,and find Grace to help in time of need”. YOU need to belong to your rightful owner,the creator of the universe and everything in it. 2 Timothy 2:19 says, “Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal: THE LORD KNOWS those who are His, let everyone that nemeth the name of Christ depart from evil (sin/iniquity). So today if you consider yourself as valuable, then accept God’s offer of salvation through His Son,who paid the price,for you,by simply going to the top of this blog,then click onto the salvation page,and follow the instructions, then allow the Indwelling Holy Spirit that comes inside of you,to lead,guide,and direct your path for the rest of your life.

All glory, praise, honor and thanks go to God. Father God may you give everyone who reads this the understanding of Your word that it may be received into their hearts. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

GUILTY BY ASSOCIATION

Sometimes we find ourselves in the wrong place at the wrong time, but as a Christian we sometimes find ourselves among some people who we don’t want to be with, yet we are trying to lead them to Jesus so that their soul will be saved. No, it does not mean that we are like them, because we are the salt and light of the world and we want to implement change in lifestyle and behavior so we must be different in behavior and in mannerism.

Jesus puts it best in Matthew 9:13, Mark 2:17 and Luke 5:32, that He did not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance. He said this because people did not like the fact that He associated Himself with sinners. What those people failed to realize is that even though He associated with them, He was not one of them, nor did He become one of them. His primary goal was to save their souls and He said in Matthew 9:12, people who are well and healthy don’t need a physician. Therefore a doctor would be broke – without any money –  if all the people he associated with were healthy and had no need for his service. Which means why hang around righteous folks who don’t need to be saved, who don’t need healing, deliverance and total liberation.
Yes, you can say the Bible says in Psalm 1, blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful, to associate is not taking advice, but you associate to give advice or shed light in the dark. It’s when we don’t speak of God’s righteousness, that we are in trouble and God’s wrath is kindled as we see in Job 42:7. (Which is where Job’s friends aroused God’s wrath because they did not speak of Him what was right.)

“And so it was after the Lord had spoken these words to Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, ‘My wrath is aroused against you and your two friends, for you have not spoken of Me what is right, as my servant Job has.'” Job 42:7

The first thing we must know when we are amongst unbelievers is that we are God’s temple as 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 tells us. “Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.” However, 2 Corinthians 6:14-17 tells us that we can’t team up or bond with unbelievers because good and bad had nothing in common; righteousness and lawlessness can’t team up because there will be conflict of interest. We can’t be with Christ and the devil at the same time, because we can’t have two masters. There is no agreement between the temple of God and idols. So God’s final answer is for us to come out from among those who can’t stand Him; He wants us to be separate and touch not the unclean things.

Choose who you want to live for this day. There really is no in-between for those who say, “I’m not living for God or the devil…” Stop attempting to straddle the fence. If your choice is Jesus then go to the top of this blog post, to the salvation page and read what may be your first or second prayer to the Lord. Read the Bible and a devotional book to help guide you in reading the Bible. May God be your guide in living for Him, in Jesus name, Amen.
