Principles Taught in God’s Word
James 4:8, “Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.”
The Principle of Ownership
We have looked at the Principle of Authority and the principle of
responsibility. Today’s lesson is the principal of Ownership. As Christians
we should be ever mindful of who we belong to.
Remember what we read in 1 Corinthians 7:23, “Ye are bought with a price; be not ye
the servants of men.” Jesus paid the debt that each and every one of us owed
and when we trust Him, we are receiving that gift. From that point forward
we belong to Him.
Again in 1 Corinthians 6:20, “For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in
your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.”
That price Jesus paid for our redemption was His life on a cruel cross. Thank
God Jesus overcame death, hell, and the grave so that we could live in
victory.
1 Corinthians 15:57, “But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our
Lord Jesus Christ.”
Remember what we read in Psalm 24:1 – “The earth is the LORD’S, and the
fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.”
As Believers we belong to God!
