You are not your own, you were bought with a price. Sin has crippled us all and the wages are death. However, Christ stepped in, as a kinsman redeemer, to pay our debts. He paid it all and we can operate in freedom, as a result.
You are free. Remove the limitations of what you cannot do and cannot have, you are no longer a slave. This means your freedom in Christ is a birthright.
As glorious as, freedom is it is a birthright. The birthright is the beginning, the first fruits, the foundation, the cornerstone and a genesis.
Freedom is not the prize in the race, in all its power, it is merely the starting block given to every believer. Through freedom we are capable of achieving the real prize, to reign in Eternal Glory.
1 Corinthian 7:22-23
And remember, if you were a slave when the Lord called you, you are now free in the Lord. And if you were free when the Lord called you, you are now a slave of Christ. God paid a high price for you, so don’t be enslaved by the world.
