Sunday morning we had a guest from Texas, USA. Brother Willey Perry, spoke about the price that Jesus paid for us and about the benefits of the Church, due to Christ's Sacrifice. We were reminded that we were bought at a price and therefore we must live holy lives for God.

1 Corinthians 6:20
you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.

So if we no longer belong to ourselves, we don't owe anything to our flesh, so we don't have to obey it's requests. There was a price paid so that we might have free entrance to the Father and so that we might be holy.

There was a price paid so that we might have healing in our bodies today:

Isaiah 53:5 "But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed."
1 Peter 2:24 "He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed."

There was a price paid so that we might have a sane mind. Brother Perry gave a wonderful explanation for this. He said that all of a Christian's battles are in his mind. That's where the thoughts come and later become actions. Jesus paid by wearing a crown on His head, by bleeding from His head, He paid for me to have a sane mind.

There was a price paid for me to walk right with God. In order for my feet to walk in righteousness, Jesus feet were nailed to the cross.

There was a price paid for His Church to be born. Brother Perry made an awesome comparing between the first Adam, that was caused to sleep so that Eve was made from His side. Just like that the second Adam, was pierced, and bled from His side, so that a Bride could be made for Him. Just like the first Adam, that woke up after his sleep, the second Adam was raised to Life, and by His Life, He gave Life to all those that believed in Him.

In ending, brother Perry said that we have to live holy lives because we were bought with a price.

May God help us all live like servants of righteousness not slaves to sin.
