Scripture
1 Corinthians 15:22
Just as everyone dies because we all belong to Adam, everyone who belongs to Christ will be given new life.
Observation
BECAUSE we belong. People need a sense of belonging, but how important it is to belong to the right person. Adam gave us the 'gift' of death, the penalty for sin passed out to humanity. But belonging to Jesus is LIFE.
Application
I have no ill feelings towards Adam, especially since we are related :) And I so often am like him. However, I don't belong to Adam anymore. I came from Adam, but I came TO Christ. I now belong to Jesus.
Prayer
Lord, please help me live in such a way that it is obvious "to others to whom I belong". May Your new nature be lived out in such a way that people see I am not my own, I've been bought with a price, I've been redeemed, ransomed, and welcomed as a son. I belong.
