Just as the clay takes on the signature of the potter, we have been given the glory of God. Even before we were born, God had already called us as His own. The joy of being purchased is that you are a debtor to no one. <!--more-->Every price that needs to be paid for your life was paid with the highest price ever. The God of the Heavens gave up His only Son as a ransom for us. Nothing can contend or compete with that. The Blood of the Lamb is the symbol of a price that has been paid in full for your life. The joy of the purchased is that we have been made whole by the Creator Himself [<a title=\"Read the Bible\" href=\"http:\/\/bible.us\/isa53.5.nlt\" target=\"_blank\">Isa.53:5]<\/a>. The joy of being purchased is that you have already been provided for. All that you need now and all that you will ever need, God has already provided for [<a title=\"Read the Bible\" href=\"http:\/\/bible.us\/phil4.19.nlt\" target=\"_blank\">Phil.4:19]<\/a>. The joy of being purchased is that we live our lives to serve the Master, not in an attempt to repay Him because we can\u2019t. But in adoration and appreciation for all that He has given up for our sakes. The joy of the purchased is that we have access to the Master and a lifelong invitation to dine with the King of kings. The joy of being purchased is that we have boundless joy by the Spirit. \u2018From now on, don\u2019t let anyone trouble me with these things. For I bear on my body the scars that show I belong to Jesus.\u2019<a title=\"Read the Bible\" href=\"http:\/\/bible.us\/gal6.17.nlt\" target=\"_blank\">Gal.6:17<\/a>. The joy of the purchased is that we bear the Name of the Master and carry His mark. The joy of the purchased is that you fight from victory; the battle has already been won. \u2018I am the LORD, the God of all the peoples of the world. Is anything too hard for me?\u2019 <a title=\"Read the Bible\" href=\"http:\/\/bible.us\/gal6.17.nlt\" target=\"_blank\">Jer.32:27<\/a>. The joy of being purchased is that we have a guarantee of the impossible made possible. We have the supernatural at work in our favour. God has a stake in everything that happens to us. The joy of being the purchased of the Lord is that we have a hope and a future. The joy of being purchased is that we have an inheritance and a place prepared for us in His rest. We have been called joint heirs to the Throne.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Thought<\/strong>: The joy of being purchased is that you have absolutely nothing to worry about.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>Prayer [song]:<\/strong> \u2018We are heirs of the Father.
