1 Corinthians 7:23 “A high price has been paid for your freedom, so don’t devalue God’s investment by becoming a slave to people”
If we buy something valuable, paying a lot of money for it, we expect it to do what it’s meant to do. If it falls short of our expectations we can get saddened and become less than happy with our investment.
This weeks verse reminds us that God made a huge investment in us. He paid a high price to deliver us freedom. His purchase meant that we are no longer meant to be slaves to anything. But it’s easy for us to slip back into our old habits.
We’re told to be aware of becoming slaves to people rather than son and daughters of God. He secured our freedom and he wants us to live free of slavery. To be enslaved again devalues God’s precious investment in us. To be free makes the most from the high price He paid.
This week let’s get focused and make God’s Word a priority in our lives. Don’t choose man’s wisdom above Godly wisdom. Man’s wisdom will often ensnare us again to slavery. God’s Word, on the other hand, will always lead us toward freedom. It will ensure that we remain son’s and daughter’s of the King of Kings.
