God bought us with the Highest price..

Isaiah 52:2-3
"Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion. For thus saith the LORD, Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money.

We've all gone through falling into temptation because we've all sinned at some stage. However what we should know is that the purpose of falling isn't staying down but its shaking off the dust and standing up. Maybe you've fallen several times because of sin and now you feel like there is no way of getting up because you no longer have a chance to do so. Well that's not true because our God is a God of second chance. Through sin we were sold to the enemy however that didn't stop God from buying us back with the blood of His only begotten Son Jesus Christ.

No money can buy redemption because it is only given to us through mercy. Interestingly the word says "Ye have sold yourselves for nought" which is true because a lot of times people sacrifice things that have value for things that don't have any value. When I speak of value I am not speaking of monetary value but those important things that you take for granted whilst others are crying for them each and every day. What you should know about value less things is that they might seem like the most exciting things but problem is they don't last. We have been bought with the highest price and that is the blood of Jesus Christ which makes us the wealthiest of the wealthy.
