You Belong to Christ, Lock, Stock & Barrel

 “Notwithstanding no devoted thing, that a man shall devote unto the LORD of all that he hath, both of man and beast, and of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy unto the LORD.”

‭‭Leviticus‬ ‭27‬:‭28‬ ‭KJV

Whatever was devoted to the LORD by voluntary special vows could only be redeemed by the price the priest fixed by appraising their value.  However, all firstborn of both humans and animals, and all the tithes already belong to the LORD and cannot be given as special vows, as the law stated.  But now, in the New Covenant, the moment you came to Christ, you and all your belongings are dedicated to Him, you have no choice here!  Jesus valued you higher than His very Life and redeemed you with His Precious Blood.  You are no longer your own!  He values you, old or a child, sick or whole.  In Christ there is absolutely no partiality.  When you devote yourself to the LORD, you become His channel of blessing to the world.  Now you are dead to the world and alive to Him.  The world has been crucified to you, because you are in Christ.  Hallelujah!
