Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men. 1 Corinthians 7:23 (KJV).
Life , life , life. It is an interesting thing. We go through life hoping, wishing and wanting what it has to offer. Not realizing we all have a price that we are auctioned off for. You may say what do I mean by that. Just look around, life offers so many material things some will do anything for it. People can be like a child in a candy store. Therefore, we put ourselves out there hoping to get picked for the perfect job, wanting the perfect house, cars and to be called on, instead of letting God be your source. We set ourselves up to be approached by the devil and his imps when we are not focused on the will of God. The devil will try to lure us and entice us to pick between God and him. The scripture above tells us not to be servants of men. Don't let life trick you into thinking that you are just a piece of material or object to be auctioned off to the world. We can become slaves to the world by putting ourselves up for auction to be sold just to gain the things of the world. Remember our sins was bought with a price and that was the blood of Jesus. He gave his life for us, so why would we want to be auctioned off or to be sold at any price just to gain the material things of this world when God gave his SON JESUS for our sins? We belong to Christ! Because we were bought with His blood for our sins so that we DON'T have to be servants of man. We can look to Jesus for our needs because He said to trust Him. We belong to Him because we our heirs of His Kingdom. God Bless
