We were bought with the precious blood of Jesus.  We are not our own.  We must not choose to be the servants of sin.  We must choose to be the servants of God.  It is sad that the post-modern church has forgotten that we are saved by virtue of the redemptive work of Christ.  We become shallow and ineffective when we forget God's complete claim to us.  Salvation cost God his Son.  He expects us to come to know the reality of who we are and whose we are.
