We were bought at a price and are to honor God with our bodies


We were bought at a price and are to honor God with our bodies  

 1 Cor 6:20

20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.

Psalm 74:2

Remember the nation you purchased long ago,
    the people of your inheritance, whom you redeemed—
    Mount Zion, where you dwelt.

Mt 20:28

28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

Acts 20:28

28 Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God,[a] which he bought with his own blood.[b]

1 Cor 7:23

23 You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of human beings. 24 Brothers and sisters, each person, as responsible to God, should remain in the situation they were in when God called them.

Rev 5:9

And they sang a new song, saying:
“You are worthy to take the scroll
    and to open its seals,
because you were slain,
    and with your blood you purchased for God
    persons from every tribe and language and people and nation.

3)    Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many

4)    We are to be the shepherds of church of God,  which He bought with His own blood

5)    We were bought at a price; do not become slaves of human beings.

6)    Through the blood of Jesus, We were purchased for God.
