[The Glory Unveiled]
For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s. [ 1 Corinthians 6:20 NKJV ]
Anything that can be bought has value. Its value determines its price, whether that price is visible or not. At an auction, buyers assign a price to an item based on what they believe it is worth. The higher the price, the greater its perceived value. Yet there is a deeper mystery: the buyer does not ultimately determine the item’s worth. Rather, the item itself declares its value, and the buyer simply responds to it. Once purchased, that possession brings the buyer a measure of satisfaction and fulfillment. The same principle applies to humanity. We were purchased from the auction house of the devil, and the price paid for our redemption was the life of God’s beloved Son. In other words, we were bought at the cost of our Redeemer’s own life. The Lord Jesus surrendered His life to purchase ours. Consider the magnitude of that price. Consider the value it places on your life. Such an immeasurable price places an unspoken responsibility upon us as God’s purchased possession. Our lives must reflect the value revealed by the price He paid. Scripture therefore calls us to glorify God in our bodies, for they belong to Him. To glorify Him is to yield our bodies to His purposes, using them only for what pleases Him and advances His will. May the One who purchased us find delight in His possession. May our lives bring Him satisfaction, reflecting the worth He placed upon us. Let us never live in a way that dishonours the price of our redemption, but rather be wholly useful to the One who bought us.
