For God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body.
-1 Corinthians 6:20(NLT)
BOUGHT WITH A HIGH PRICE
A poem and essay by ILMA
God loves you so much that he values you immensely
He sacrificed his only Son; he loves you unconditionally
He bought you with a high price to save you from sin
Jesus Christ’s blood allowed you to be free
How are you going to repay his generosity?
Are you honoring your whole body?
He wants you to care for every gift he gave you
He cares when the world tarnishes your view.

Have you ever owned something that was bought with a high price? When my husband proposed to me, he gave me the option to choose one of the most expensive engagement rings. I felt valued and loved when he did that. I consider one of my paintings as a valued possession because it was a painting I did for a total of 100 hours, something I did painstakingly in a matter of time. I actually don’t want to part with it because it reminded me of the many hours it took me to finish the work. It may not be considered a masterpiece by many, but for me, it is one.
God bought you with a high price so you must honor God with your body. It cost his Son’s life to purchase our freedom.
PRAYER
Lord, thank you for setting me free with Jesus’ blood.
REFLECTION
How can you repay God for the high price he paid for your sin?
