Bought With a Price

"Ye are bought with a price," Paul tells us in 1 Cor. 6: 20, and elsewhere. Peter tells us that this price is "the precious blood of Christ." For us Christ gave His life. He "gave Himself a ransom for all." Whether men will believe it or admit it, they belong to Christ. He has purchased them; He has purchased for them eternal life and glorious inheritance. He has done this for every soul, whatever his name, race, or moral condition. But He will not force you to deliver what He has purchased. He will not compel you to accept or receive the mercy, the righteousness, the life, the glory which is yours by virtue of His purchase and gift. This is your part. He has called and elected you; it is for you to make the calling and election sure by yielding implicitly to Him. Then you will know that Jesus Christ "is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe."
