  • Psalm 24:1 declares, "The earth is the LORD's, and all its fullness, the world and those who dwell therein".
  • Haggai 2:8 reminds us, "'The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine,' says the LORD of hosts".
  • 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 reveals that believers "were bought at a price" and are not their own.
