Salvation costs everything – 1 Cor 7:23-24
Vs 23 – Paul once again re-emphasizes the fact that the price for your salvation cost Christ everything. So never become a slave to human beings. Never let the opinions of the ungodly influence your relationship with Christ. There are many voices in the world calling for your attention promising you hollow and dangerous things. Be free in Christ and stay free.
Vs 24 – Paul called them brothers and sisters in Christ. Each person is responsible to God. The first priority of the Christian is to Christ first and then everything comes second. They were to remain in whatever situation they were in when God called them. This is a direct challenge to the Gnostics who were advocating certain spiritual practices that led them to classify themselves as special advocates of truth.
