“For this very night there stood before me an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I worship”
Acts 27:23 KJV
The Christian belongs to Christ.
- We are His by donation. We have been given to Christ by the Father (John 17:6).
- We are His by His death; for He has bought us with His blood (1 Corinthians 6:20).
- We are His by deliverance, for He has delivered us from the kingdom of darkness (Colossians 1:13).
- We are His by dependence, for by His grace we are what we are (1 Corinthians 15:10).
- We are His by His dwelling within us, for our bodies are the temples of the Holy Ghost (1 Corinthians 3:16).
- We are His by direction, for “as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God” (Romans 8:14).
- We are His by dedication, for we have yielded ourselves to Him (Romans 6:16).
