1 Corinthians 7:23

1 Corinthians 7:23 You were bought with a price; do not become slaves of men.

Three points:

1. You

Paul is speaking specifically to Christians, but the Lord Jesus died, paid the penalty, and suffered for all. If they after conviction of sin, repent, and call on the name of the Lord Jesus by faith, they will also be among the "you". Remember it is...you.

2. A price

Slaves were bought and sold in auctions. All people are slaves of sin. The Lord Jesus paid for you with his death and blood; it is something much more than money. It was done for...you.

3. Slaves of men

We are to be free. We are to be slaves to man's philosophies, religions, or lusts; we are to be slaves of Jesus Christ. He is Lord. He is the most kind and loving master anyone could ever have. He is the master of...you.
