 That's what was most important, and God was pleased and honored by that. So when Paul prays here for this church, as we're going to see, he prays for things in relation to their walk and their work for God in a way that would be able to bring true glory and honor unto Christ. He knew this is what it's all about. For the Christian, the moment you got saved, the moment you were redeemed by the blood of Christ, you were no longer your own.
