What does being 'not our own' mean in a Christian's life?

Answered in 1 source

Being 'not our own' means that as believers, our lives belong to God, and we are called to live for His glory.

To say that we are 'not our own' reflects a profound truth in Christian doctrine: that we have been purchased and belong to God. This means our decisions, actions, and motives should center around glorifying Him rather than serving our own interests (1 Corinthians 10:31). Being under God's lordship invites us to surrender our will to His, seeking to live according to His purposes for our lives. It also encourages a reliance on His grace and power to live holy lives that honor Him.
