Thought I'd help you out with this TMK.From the article:"If you are a follower of Jesus, then your life is not your own. It belongs entirely to Him. As Paul wrote to the Corinthians, "You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body" (1 Cor. 6:19-20).This is the opposite of the contemporary American gospel, which teaches that Jesus died to make you into a bigger and better you, to help you fulfill your dreams and goals.To the contrary, Jesus died for you and me so we too would die—die to sin and self—and live a new life for Him.That's when we find out what life is really about. That's when we come into our true destiny and purpose.Despite what many preachers say, Jesus did not come into this world and suffer and die to give us the keys to a happy and prosperous life, although there is endless joy in His presence and everything we need is found in Him.Instead, the Word says that Jesus "died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised" (2 Cor. 5:15)...."Rest of article here: http://www.charismanews.com/opinion/in-the-line-of-fire/45538-you-are-not-your-own
