You were bought at a price too! 1 Cor 6:20, 7:23
And the cost of your salvation hasn’t change a bit!
You were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. 1 Peter 1:18-19
Go ahead and buy someone you love something they want or need!
But remember only one gift is eternal; so give the Gift of Jesus this year.
And have a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
