*YOU ARE PRECIOUS*
For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. (1Co 6:20 KJV)
Salvation is free for all who believe in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour. This salvation however had a cost. Heaven and earth and everything in them were finished. By the seventh day God had finished work he had been doing. On the seventh day he stopped the work he had been doing. Then God blessed the seventh day and set it apart as holy, because on that day he stopped all his work of creation. (Gen 2:1-3 GW) God created all things and it is impossible to put a price tag on all of creation. Even some physical items on earth are labeled priceless; these are things which mankind has said money cannot buy. Creation cannot be bought.
The wonders of creation the universe and beyond all belong to God and did not cost Him anything to create! Every creature in the forest, even the cattle on a thousand hills, is mine. (Psa 50:10 GW) The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts.
(Hag 2:8 KJV) King David after giving so much to God still ended by saying after all God gave him first. All this did not cost God.
When God however wanted to redeem someone from sin and give them the right to become a child of God it cost Him something. It cost God the ultimate sacrifice. The life of His one and only son. You cost God the divine life of His son. Money could not buy you, no one can buy you. Our heavenly Father bought you at an extremely High price.
For you know what was paid to set you free from the worthless manner of life handed down by your ancestors. It was not something that can be destroyed, such as silver or gold; it was the costly sacrifice of Christ, who was like a lamb without defect or flaw. He had been chosen by God before the creation of the world and was revealed in these last days for your sake.
(1Pe 1:18-20 GNB)
*ACT*
Meditate on the scripture below. Speak it to yourself over and over. Think on it read it again and again.
Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, (1Pe 1:18-20 KJV)
