Price

At twilight, I thought of a testimony I read in the morning. It said, "...it (my life) is not for SALE.. ". I felt that God was talking with me. I was in a state were, I had forgotten this truth (the truth that set me free), for a long long time. My life, was being battered by Satan. I praise God for letting me know the truth that, "I AM FREE."
[1 Corinthians 6:20 KJV] For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
[1 Corinthians 6:19 MSG] Or didn't you realize that your body is a sacred place, the place of the Holy Spirit? Don't you see that you can't live however you please, squandering what God paid such a high price for? The physical part of you is not some piece of property belonging to the spiritual part of you.
[Hebrews 9:12 MSG] He also bypassed the sacrifices consisting of goat and calf blood, instead using his own blood as the price to set us free once and for all.
Yes, I am bought, with a price. A price which no man was able to pay. What was that price? Oh, it was the cross, the painful and agony filled cross, a cross meant for the greatest of criminal, a cross of curse, the scornful cross (where the Pharisees and the High priests, people who lived right, rather they lived right before the sight of God scorned the one on the cross), the cross where even a robber mocked him that was on the cross, a cross of bitter wine, a cross which was gambled upon. It was just not this, Oh! It was the SON OF GOD on the cross. It didn't finish here, GOD HERE DIED AS MAN. He took the punishment of sin, upon Himself THOUGH He was without sin.
Finally, He said, "IT IS FINISHED". The price was paid, for me soul. Not just mine, but yours too.
I was just wandering for whom did He pay the price for. The very same people, who were with enmity with Him. Oh! I am set free once and for all. Praise God.
