Glorifying God

Hello everyone,

How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord. We thank God for His goodness, faithfulness, and grace over our lives.

Primary Text

“You were bought with a price [purchased with a preciousness and paid for, made His own]. So then, honor God and bring glory to Him in your body.” 1 Corinthians 6v20 (AMP)

There is a song that goes – I am not my own, I was bought with a price, I was purchased by the precious blood of Jesus, all my debt was paid by His sacrifice, halle, halle, halle, hallelujah. Amen. Salvation is free but it did come at a price, the blood of Jesus (Acts 20v28; 1 Corinthians 7v23). Matthew 20v28 (NIV) tells us “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.” Jesus gave His life for us, for God so loved the world that He gave His only beloved Son that whosoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life (John 3v16). Thank God for this. So what should we do about it? We should live our lives to bring honor to Him. 2 Corinthians 5v15 (AMP) says “And He died for all, so that all those who live might live no longer to and for themselves, but to and for Him Who died and was raised again for their sakes.” Let us seek to glorify God with our bodies and our spirits everyday.
