1 Corinthians 6:19 “Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own?”
- Bought with a Price
1 Corinthians 6:20 – For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body.
We belong to God because He redeemed us through the blood of His Son. Ownership has transferred from sin to the Savior. The cross was the price tag; love was the motive.
The Christian life is not self-directed—it is Christ-governed.
Redemption means surrender to divine purpose, not partial control.
The blood of Jesus establishes both our value and His authority.
Prayer: Father, help me remember the price You paid for me. Let my life bear the mark of Your ownership. Teach me to glorify You in every thought, word, and deed, that Your purchased possession may honor You daily. - The Temple Within
1 Corinthians 3:16 – Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
God dwells not in buildings made by hands but in the hearts of believers. The sacred has moved inside. The indwelling Spirit means our lives are holy ground.
Our choices become acts of worship or desecration.
Holiness is not performance—it is presence.
Every believer is a sanctuary of divine intimacy.
Prayer: Lord, dwell fully in me. Let Your Spirit cleanse, fill, and consecrate every part of my being. Teach me to walk softly before You, aware that I carry Your presence everywhere I go. - The Death of Self
Galatians 2:20 – I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.
To belong to Christ means the old life is over. The self-centered person has died, and a new identity has been born in Christ.
Ownership changes conduct—Christ lives, I yield.
The cross cancels independence; it births dependence.
Death to self is the beginning of divine life.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, I surrender my self-will. Live through me. Replace my pride with Your humility, my desires with Your will, my plans with Your purpose. - Divine Lordship
Romans 14:8 – For if we live, we live for the Lord, or if we die, we die for the Lord; therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s.
There is no condition or circumstance where ownership changes hands. From life to death, from breath to eternity, we are the Lord’s property.
God’s lordship is not partial—it is total.
The soul finds rest only when it yields.
Living for Christ means dying to every rival claim.
Prayer: Lord, I confess that I am Yours—alive or dead, in joy or pain. May my loyalty be undivided, my heart anchored in Your eternal ownership. - Created for His Glory
Isaiah 43:7 – Everyone who is called by My name, and whom I have created for My glory, whom I have formed, even whom I have made.
God designed us not for our own pleasure but for His glory. Our identity, purpose, and joy all flow from reflecting Him.
Creation carries divine intention, not random existence.
We were formed for praise, not pride.
God’s ownership is creative, purposeful, and loving.
Prayer: Creator God, remind me that I was made for You. Let my life radiate Your beauty and proclaim Your worth. Shape me into the reflection of Your glory. - Servants, Not Masters
Romans 6:22 – But now having been freed from sin and enslaved to God, you derive your benefit, resulting in sanctification, and the outcome, eternal life.
Freedom in Christ is not autonomy—it’s holy servanthood. We exchange one master for another: sin for righteousness.
True liberty is living under divine authority.
Bondage to God brings freedom of the soul.
Sanctification is evidence of divine ownership.
Prayer: Lord, I gladly serve You. Break every chain that ties me to sin. Let my obedience become joy, and my servanthood become worship. - Stewardship of the Body
Romans 12:1 – Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.
The body is not an idol to be served, nor a tool for sin. It is a living altar for worship, consecrated to the will of God.
Sacrifice is not destruction—it is dedication.
God calls us to yield, not to decorate, our lives.
Worship begins when self ends.
Prayer: Father, receive my body as Yours. Let my actions honor You, my habits please You, and my life bear witness that I belong fully to You. - Chosen and Possessed
Deuteronomy 7:6 – For you are a holy people to the Lord your God; the Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for His own possession.
From the beginning, God’s purpose has been relationship and ownership—He chooses, redeems, and keeps His people as His treasure.
Being chosen is not privilege but purpose.
God delights in His people because they are His.
Divine possession is permanent and precious.
Prayer: Thank You, Father, for choosing me. Let my heart reflect Your love and my life display Your ownership. Keep me faithful to Your covenant of grace. - The Call to Conformity
Romans 8:29 – For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son.
Ownership leads to transformation. God does not purchase without purpose; He refines to resemble Christ.
Redemption without transformation is incomplete.
God’s property bears His image.
Conformity to Christ is proof of divine possession.
Prayer: Lord, make me more like Jesus. Strip away what is unlike Him. Shape me until my heart beats in rhythm with Yours. - Secure in His Hands
John 10:28–29 – And I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all.
God’s ownership guarantees protection. No force can reclaim what God has redeemed. The believer rests in divine security.
What God owns, He keeps.
Salvation is sustained by divine grip, not human grasp.
We belong eternally to the One who cannot fail.
Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, that I am safe in Your hands. Let this truth quiet my fears and strengthen my obedience. Keep me faithful to the end, knowing I am not my own but wholly Yours.
