Even if we are not our own, Christ understands You belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God. 1 Corinthians 3:23

Not “Our Will” … Now those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Galatians 5:24

The Apostrophe For the one who was a slave when called to faith in the Lord is the Lord’s freed person; similarly, the one who was free when called is Christ’s slave. 1 Corinthians 7:22

We Belong to and Represent Him We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors as though God were making his appeal through us. 2 Corinthinans 5:20

My situation is not important… For Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. 2 Corinthians 12:9-11
