Redeemed!
(Henry Law, "Redemption")
(You will find it helpful to Listen to the Audio above, as you read the text below.)
"For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold, that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your forefathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect!" 1 Peter 1:18-19
"He gave Himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness, and to purify for Himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good!" Titus 2:14
Redeemed ones are no longer their own.
Your time is redeemed; use it as a consecrated talent in His cause.
Your minds are redeemed; employ them to learn His truth, and to meditate on His ways. Thus make them armories of holy weapons.
Your eyes are redeemed; let them not look on vanity. Turn them away from all folly and worldliness!
Your feet are redeemed; let them trample on the world, and climb the upward hill of Zion, and bear you onward in the march of Christian zeal.
Your tongues are redeemed; let them only sound His praise, and testify to His love, and call sinners to His cross.
Your hearts are redeemed; let them love Him wholly, and have no place for rivals.
"You are not your own, for God bought you with a high price!" 1 Corinthians 6:19, 20
"God paid a high price for you, so don't be enslaved by the world!" 1 Corinthians 7:23
