Revelation of the Spirit - #4 We Are God's Purchased Possesion

This kind of goes along with my last revelation. With that crucifixion the Lord bought our souls our lives everything that comes with us. We were sort of a package deal as I like to look at it :)
But with Jesus shedding His blood that day wasn't done for nothing or to prove that God likes to put His only Son through pain. He bought our sin and He took and bore that sin so that we would never have to suffer through it.

1 Corinthians 6: 20
" You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body."

1 Corinthians 7:23
"You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men"

2 Corinthians 1:22
"He anointed us, set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our heart as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come."

Scripture is screaming at us that we do not belong to our selves, this world or this age. We live for another time and for another Spirit. The Lord owns us. We are His people. He loves us and shows His ultimate love by sending His only heir to the throne of glory, and bought each and everyone of us. He gives us all the chance of inheriting his throne and experiencing His love.

Isn't that amazing? I could never imagine giving up my only son or brother or anyone in my family to die a painful death to at some point or another be betrayed by the people who I sent him to die for. The Lord did and because of that I love him and adore him and will all the days of my life.

Amen.
