For you were bought at a price,
therefore, glorify God in your body and in your spirit,
Jesus is the complete Price that was paid to redeem you from sin. Salvation was not free; He paid a price. His death was the price that gave you life. Salvation was not cheap; Jesus was humiliated and tortured, and He suffered for your sins. Your sin—and the sin of all others—had violated the perfection of God the Father. Sin had to be punished, so Jesus was punished for your violations. Instead of your paying the price, He paid it for you.
Jesus, thank You for paying the price for my sin. Now I am free from the debt of sin. Help me to live in gratitude for what You’ve done.
Jesus is the Price big enough to cover all the sins of all people. He is the ultimate Price, enduring enough to cover all the sins committed in the future. He paid the price once for all. He forgave all sin—all past and all future sin. Now, if you walk in the light, the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses you from all sin (1 John 1:7). You don’t have to feel guilty over your sin; instead, confess it and receive cleansing (1 John 1:9). Don’t walk around in the darkness; rather, walk in the light of Jesus.
Jesus, it’s easy to walk when there’s light on the path. Keep me from dark roads of sin and the valley of the shadow of death. Shine some light over here; guide me today. Amen.
