God’s Property
Romans 14:7-8(ESV) For none of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself. For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s.
 
God created us, and we belong to Him. That makes us God’s property. He is our Father; therefore we have everything we could ever need and want. We are born of God at our conception, and we are born of Him again at our confession of Jesus Christ as the Lord and Savior of our life. Equal to the world’s rejection of God is the world’s rejection of us because we are His children. God is the victorious threat to this carnal world and so are we. That’s why Satan connivingly roams about to catch us off guard and destroy us. But here is our truth that even Satan already knows: Our life is not our own, and we are not bait for Satan’s hook of deception. We are fishers of men for Jesus Christ! Boom! Realize that we are the Kingdom threat in this world - and a victorious threat at that – all because we are God’s property! Let’s run our race and tell that!
