Jesus owns me

Jesus has paid a price for me, and
he owns me!

1st Cor. 6:24
"..you are not your own; you were
bought at a price. Therefore honor
God with your bodies."

1st Cor. 7:23
"You were bought at a price; do not
become slaves of human beings"

For many it is a strange thought; to
be owned by somebody.

But - the truth is that no human
being is his own master, but belong
to either two kingdom´s.

Col. 1:13
"For he has rescued us from the
dominion of darkness, and brought
us into the kingdom of the Son he
loves."

It is a wonderful thing to be owned
by God, it is the ultimate freedom.

Gal. 5:1
"It is for freedom that Christ has
set us free. Stand firm, then, and
do not let yourselves be burdened
again by a yoke of slavery".

1st Cor 7:22
For the one who was a slave when
called to faith in the Lord is the
Lord´s freed person; similarly, the
one who was free when called is
Christ´s slave.

God´s Son Jesus Christ bought me
free from the chains of sin, paying
with his own blood on the cross.

1st Pet. 1:18-19
..it was not with perishable things
..you were redeemed..but with the
precious blood of Christ, "a lamb
without blemish or defect"."

The bible tells us that until we
come to accept Jesus Christ and
what he did on the cross - we re-
main slaves under sin.

John 8:34
"Jesus replied; very truly I tell
you; "everyone who sins is a
slave to sin"."

So - if you are not a christian you
are actually a slave under dark
forces.

If not obvious to you now, it will
become obvious eventually - and
definitely at the time of Death;

Heb. 9:27
"Just as people are destined to die
once, and after that to face judge-
ment..".

So, do we want to be owned by
the devil or do we want to be
owned by our wonderful loving
creator, from whom we have
got lost?

Romans 3:23
"..for all have sinned and fall
short of the glory of God,.."

The one that owns us, is the one
controlling our eternal destiny.

The devil himself is currently in
uproar against God. He is not his
own master, and he will spend
eternity where God choose to
place him.

And the same counts for those
that chose to stay under the
devils slavery of sin during the
lifetime;

Matt 25:41
"Then he will say to those on the
left; depart from me you who
are cursed, into the eternal fire
that are prepared for the devil
and his angels."

Come to Jesus while there is
time! God loves you and wants
to become your heavenly Father.

He planned so that his Son paid
the price for your sins on the
cross, and Jesus now wants to
become your big brother;

John 3:16
For God so loved the World
that he gave his one and only
Son, that whoever Believes in
him shall not perish but have
eternal Life.
