What does it mean that we are bought with a price?
Answered in 2 sources
Being bought with a price means that Christ has redeemed us through His sacrifice, and we now belong to Him.
The phrase 'bought with a price' refers to the biblical truth that believers are redeemed by Christ's death on the cross. As stated in 1 Corinthians 6:20, we are not our own, for we were purchased with His blood. This highlights that our salvation came at the greatest cost—the life of Christ Himself. It signifies ownership; we belong to God as His prized possession, which brings both responsibility and assurance. Understanding that we are bought with a price should lead Christians to live in a manner that honors God, recognizing the high value He places on us and the calling to reflect His glory in our lives.
