Most Christians have heard the phrase, “You are not your own,” but very few live as though it is true.

In 1 Corinthians 6, Paul addresses two issues that seem completely unrelated: lawsuits among believers and sexual immorality. But beneath both problems is the same question: Who owns your life?

In this teaching, we walk through the full context of 1 Corinthians 6 and discover why Paul’s famous statement is not a burden but a source of freedom. If we belong to Christ, then our rights, our bodies, and our choices are no longer centered on self-interest but on God's purpose.

This chapter challenges modern ideas about personal freedom, self-expression, and individual rights while revealing a deeper truth about our identity in Christ.

Key topics covered:

Why believers were taking each other to court
The connection between lawsuits and sexual immorality
What Paul means by “such were some of you”
Washed, sanctified, and justified explained
True freedom versus slavery to sin
What it means to be united with Christ
Why your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit
“You are not your own” in its full biblical context
What it means to be bought with a price

But here's what most people miss: Paul does not begin with behavior modification. He begins with identity. Understanding who you already are in Christ changes how you live.
