<b>GOD'S CLAIM ON YOUR LIFE -  “Ye are bought with a price.”  1Co 6:20</b>


<strong>God’s second claim on your life is Calvary. The story’s told of two friends went to law school. One 

became a judge’s seat, the other became a law breaker and ended up in court. Guess who was sitting in 

the judge’s seat? His friend. So how could the judge be merciful, yet still be just? Taking off the black 

robes of justice, he walked over to the dock where the prisoner stood and said, “Not only am I this man’s 

friend, today I’m his savior. I will stand chargeable with all his debts.” At the cross God took all your sin 

and put it on Christ’s account, and took all Christ’s righteousness and put it on your account. And the 

moment you trust Christ as your Savior you’re no longer under the sentence of death. The value of 

something is determined by the price a buyer is willing to pay for it. At Calvary God said, “This is how 

much I love you!” Your creator became your redeemer. The maker of the universe, as man for man was 

made a curse. The claims of law that He has made, unto the uttermost He paid.” To fulfill His purposes in 

the earth, God always had a man. To deliver the Israelites from Egypt, He uses Moses. To challenge the 

prophets of Baal, He uses Elijah. But when it came to your salvation, God “saw that there was no man, 

and wondered that there was no intercessor; therefore His own arm brought salvation” (Isa 59:16 NKJV)
