What does the Bible say about being a possession of Christ?

The Apostle Paul emphasizes in Galatians 5:24 that those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh along with its passions and desires. This concept of belonging to Christ is rooted in the work of God: we are brought into His possession by the Father’s choice, the Son’s redemptive work, and the Spirit's calling. The ownership of Christ over believers is not based on our merit but purely on His grace and mercy as expressed through His atoning sacrifice, which purchased us from the bondage of sin. Therefore, all believers can find comfort knowing that they are Christ’s, established by divine election and sealed by His blood, securing our identity and assurance of salvation.
