The Gospel

Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the GOSPEL which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

1 Corinthians 6:20

Title: Bought at a price

“Paid in Full,” as Christians claim, referring to our deliverance from the marketplace of sin by payment of a price which is the life, death, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus.


And what else is within the scope of this purchase?

Can we venture to say that our good works, the sacrifices, the dangers we face for the sake of the gospel have also been paid for that we cannot boast of and glory in them?

In the Christian economy, there is no place for self-promotion. Let us not forget that the Son of God died that we might inherit eternal life, and that life is God’s and must be lived for the Lord’s pleasure and glory alone.
