Q3. (1 Corinthians 6:19-20) How should we disciples apply the principles: "You are not your own, you were bought with a price"?
As disciples we should apply the principles: "You are not your own, you were bought with a price," as a fact of who we are. We are owned by Him who paid the ransom price. We do not own ourselves.
How should this affect our living?
Our living should be as unto the Lord, our Master.

Because we are not our own, but were bought with a price, we should honor God with our bodies. Only doing those things that glorify the Lord God Almighty.

Christ gave the ultimate price for our freedom - we should live our life in a way that honors that, by following his commandments and putting God first in everything we do.

i m living in an international city, I use to meet people from very different cultures. I know young ladies and gentlemen who argue when they are told about Jesus; They say that if they become Christians, they will loose their freedom in the sens that they won't be allowed to have sexual fun, and all the other good things of their youth and of the life... That made me think a lot, specially i thought of the importance of the Holy Spirit in the life of a Christian...
When Jesus bought us, He made our body become the Holy Spirit's temple. So our body become the house of God's spirit, it is not a instrument to have pleasure, or to have fun with others until it becomes unworthy... Our body, by its sexual nature, give us the opportunity to praise the lord each time we let the Spirit overcome any occasion of sexual thoughts, behaviours or acts... It is not to go without enjoying ours, but to delight ourselves in the Lord...And because of this, the Lord will give us grace to experience His great Love, we will surely be more capable of loving and respecting the other (our future spouse, our fellows...).

We were bought with a price we could not pay, therefore, we were set free from the bondage of sin, Satan no longer has a stronghold over us; we can now glorify God in our body, Christ has set us free from sins bondage, it is our reasonable service now to glorify God, how? by living holy lives!

For me we are bought with a price. The blood of Jesus Christ. Who would die for us like that. This was murder for he did nothing wrong. Yes he could have gotten out of it of course. But this was not God's and Jesus's intention. They thought about us. Us the sinners who didn't know who God was and to this day a lot of people don't. Because we can't see him or touch him we think he doesn't exists. Jesus new he had to do this for our salvation. He asked God to forgive the sinner for they did not know. We need to look up in the sky into heaven and just know that we are owned by God. How wonderful is that. We are set free. Satan can try to hurt us but if we are with God he can not do anything to us. I tell my children always get out of the world yes live in the world but under God. Do not let Satan use you in any way shape or form. Until Jesus rains on earth again Satan rains now but God owns the world, satan and us. So for our own good look up to God for guidance and let him lead us through Jesus Christ our Lord. Love our freedom and enjoy loving each other for he gave us a free will to enjoy his earth but also to always watch for the destroyer because he doesn't want us happy. But God does want us happy. Don't worry, don't worry just let God lead the way. Be happy in your misfortunes be cheeful God has a plan for all of us for the good. God Bless

'You are not your own, you were bought with a price'. This principle should be applied by us, the disciples, by honoring God with our bodies. Paul said in I Cor. 6:18: 'Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body.It is God's will first and foremost that needs to be obeyed in our lives, since now God owns us - let Him be our Master and let us not again become slaves of men and of our own lustful desires.
Goood Post since we are bought with the precious blood of our savior Jesus Christ ,we should not live in sin or in slavery to sin
