For you were bought at a price;
therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s, knowing
that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold,
from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, 19
but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and
without spot.
1 Corinthians 6:20, 1 Peter 1:18-19
لانكم
قد اشتريتم بثمن.فمجّدوا الله في اجسادكم وفي ارواحكم التي هي لله عالمين
انكم افتديتم لا باشياء تفنى بفضة او ذهب من سيرتكم الباطلة التي تقلدتموها من
الآباء
19 بل بدم كريم كما من حمل بلا عيب ولا دنس دم المسيح
Apart from the blood of
Christ, you and I could not have a relationship with our Heavenly Father.
Jesus’ sacrificial death made it possible for sinful man to approach Holy God.
Because of His blood, we are redeemed (purchased at a price) and , forgiven.
Our obligation toward our redeemer is in proportion to the price which
is paid for our redemption. A price far more valuable than any amount of silver
or gold has been paid for our redemption and we are under proportionate
obligation to devote ourselves to His service. Believers are redeemed by the life
of the Son of God offered in their behalf; and between the value of the life of
The Son of God and silver and gold there is no comparison.
I invite you to repeat the following prayer
for yourself:
Abba Father, thank You for Your abundant
blessings and love. Thank You Lord that Jesus bought me with
His precious blood and through Jesus’ redemptive work at The Cross I am granted
access to You God, my Heavenly Father and I will spend eternity with You. Lord, I pray that out of Your glorious riches that You strengthen me
with power through Your Spirit in my inner being, so that I can continue to
declare to the world that Christ is my Lord and Saviour and Friend and behave
in a such a way that pleases Your spirit within me. In the Holy Name of Jesus I pray.
To Him be the glory and the power and the dominion forever and ever.
Amen.
Jesus loves
youIn Him,
Wagdi Henein
