I Corinthians 6:19-20
Excerpted from: The Awesome Cost of Salvation

Let us tie this with what I said in regards to Ephesians 1. The picture here is of a slave being purchased from the horrible system of slavery. Redemption, remember, implies the buying back of something, the paying of a ransom. Paul is using that here—it is the same kind of picture—that we have been bought from slavery. Our slavery has been to sin. That is what we have done with our life.

What we have received is the most expensive gift that has ever been given for the purchase of a mere slave—you and me. We are bought with a price. The price is the life of the Creator. Paul is undoubtedly using this illustration in order to bring something home to you and me, and that is, that because we have been purchased, we are under obligation to the One who purchased us. See, "You are bought with a price, therefore [here comes the obligation] glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's." He is saying, in other words, become holy. He is pointing to our moral responsibilities.
