Title: We Are Yours
Content: We belong to the Lord.
Before we believed in Jesus, we were slaves to sin through sin. Strictly speaking, he was a child of the devil. However, after believing in Jesus Christ, the owner has changed. I used to be a slave to the devil because of sin, but now Jesus bought me with his blood, so my master is of course Jesus. This is a fact even the devil admits.
However, the problem is that even though this fact is clear, people who believe in Jesus still do not fully recognize this fact. If this fact is not clearly recognized, it is the same principle as a person who is supposed to live as a prince must live as a beggar. Even the children of God who were purchased with the blood of Jesus, the devils seduce believers in Jesus by any means and methods, making them their servants and making them slaves again, which is amazing.
Then why do those who believe in Jesus go back under them and become slaves?
In a word, it is because they are living the wrong number of lives before believing in Jesus and after believing in Jesus. The life before believing in Jesus was clearly a life lived in fear every day without being able to escape the devil's grasp due to sin. Life at that time, no matter how hard you work, no matter how much money you have, no matter how much knowledge you have, you cannot escape the shadow of death. Being caught up in the obsessive compulsive idea that we can live, we are forced to live by whatever means we can. As a result, in order to teach even my children better than others, I hope that I will not be able to eat, and if I cannot wear them, I will teach them well and live in the world without fear. This is part of the life of those who have lived without Jesus.
However, to say that this kind of life continues even after believing in Jesus is obviously something wrong. Once you believe in Jesus, you must not continue this kind of life again. Because you have gained a new life through Jesus, you must never go back to your old life. Although our bodies may remain in this sinful world, our souls already belong to Jesus. If the soul belongs to Jesus, the body belongs to Jesus. If Jesus is my master, then I must listen to the Lord and live. The Lord is now in me by the Holy Spirit. When a slave bought with money does not listen to his master, his share must be beaten or sold back to the slave market.
Our master is good. If you listen carefully to your words, this person will not only give you life, but will also put you in his genealogy as an adopted child. To adopt a slave is truly a huge thing for humans. Even as a child of the king. It's something no one can do without love. God did not buy us with gold or silver, but with the blood of his son. However, to live according to the old customs instead of living according to this man's words is not usually committing the sin of ingratitude, even if it is ingratitude.
It is said that the people who believe in Jesus betray the Lord the most, usually because they cannot overcome the temptations of the world and agree with them. The devil knows this so well that he uses worldly things to tempt those who believe in Jesus, and the techniques are so subtle that once they know their methods, they stick out their tongues. In order not to get caught up in this, we must not really touch or hold on to the world. The way to victory is to live only with what the Lord gives, and to wear, eat, and drink from what the Lord gives. Until you do this, you have to have faith and be patient. The Lord tests our faith through various trainings and trials in order to select such believers. The Lord selects and uses only those who have passed the fiery test as disciples. And furthermore, the brothers who are in darkness are also brought to salvation through them. That is why those who want to become true disciples of the Lord must get rid of all winds. Then the Lord will give them heavenly power and authority to judge the world.
