"For ye are
bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit,
which are God's." (1 Corinthians 6:20 – KJV)
Today's meditation verse
clearly declares that we are "bought with a price." When someone
purchases something by paying a price, it becomes the rightful possession of
the buyer. In the same way, our Lord Jesus Christ has purchased us with His own
precious blood. Therefore, we now belong to God. Hence, the verse exhorts us: “glorify
God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.”
Since we have been bought by
Christ, He now dwells within us. Just as a person who buys a house moves in and
resides there, Christ has taken up residence in us. Therefore, Apostle Paul
says:
"What? know ye not that
your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of
God, and ye are not your own?" (1 Corinthians 6:19 – KJV)
Not only that, but every
part of our body now belongs to Him. Therefore, it is essential that we keep
our bodies holy. Paul further reminds us:
"Know ye not that your
bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and
make them the members of an harlot? God forbid." (1 Corinthians 6:15 –
KJV)
Yes, beloved, since we have
been bought by our Lord Jesus Christ, we must glorify God through our bodies by
preserving them in holiness and glorify Him through our spirits by living a
fervent spiritual life. This is the call of today's meditation.
Now that we belong to
Christ, let us not become slaves to sin or to men.
Many Christians today follow
film actors and actresses, playback singers, dancers, and athletes as their
role models. Others chase after political leaders whom they favour. Sadly, even
many who call themselves spiritual Christians have become enslaved to popular
preachers and ministries. But the Lord Jesus Christ warns:
"Ye are bought with a
price; be not ye the servants of men." (1 Corinthians 7:23 – KJV)
Let us respect servants of
God and heed their words—but never become slaves to them. When we wholly
surrender ourselves to Christ, the Holy Spirit—the Spirit of Truth—will guide
us far better than any preacher or servant of God.
Yes, "For one is
your Master, even Christ." (Matthew 23:8 – KJV)
We have been bought with a
price by Christ. Therefore, let us glorify God alone through our bodies and our
spirits, which are His.
