Stirred By The Scriptures

“You are not your own; you were bought at a price.” Those words are found in I Corinthians 6:20. The costly love of God, which is freely offered to us, came at a great price to God. While we often sing of the joy and blessing his love is to us have you ever thought of it as scary? You see if I am saved completely by his love and grace, nothing I have done, then there is nothing he cannot ask of me. There is no situation that I can stand before him and say “YOU OWE ME”. I am truly not my own, I do not call the shots. The wonderful love of God can also seem a little scary.
