Nor does anyone own anything! Your house is God's possession, it is not yours. None or your possessions are yours (nor are my possessions mine). As Creator of everything, everything is His, including our lives. We 'possess' nothing, save our own will, and Calvinists might even argue that!

Per 1 Peter 2:9, Believers are '...a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.'
