Good morning, Lord

And they sang a new song, saying: "You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased for God persons from every tribe and language and people and nation. Revelation 5:9

"...purchased..." from the Greek agorazo, from Biblehub.com:

59 /agorázō ("acquire by purchasing") stresses transfer – i.e. where something becomes another's belonging (possession). In salvation-contexts, 59 (agorázō) is not redeeming ("buying back"), but rather focuses on how the believer now belongs to the Lord as His unique possession (J. Thayer). Indeed, Christ purchases all the privileges and responsibilities that go with belonging to Him (being in Christ).

Good morning, Lord, thank You for purchasing us, for making us Your own, for showing us how much You love us. Please help us love others with the sacrificial love only You can put in our hearts. Please help us die to day to self, and live for You, for love, for eternal life, we pray in Jesus' name, amen.
