Our Lord paid the price for us

I don't know about paying a price, but it was certainly an act of love.

God’s love was revealed among us in this way: God sent his only Son into the world so that we might live through him. (1 Jn 4:9)

I'm pretty comfortable with my assertion.

There is a reason He is so often depicted as our Shepherd and we as His flock.

Yes, if we are children of God, He owns us. And we were bought with His blood.

In a larger sense, all of creation is the personal property of God. All that we've ever seen or known is His creation and property. But merely because this is true of all men (and not merely the saved) doesn't mean that everyone (or everyone who appears to be 'good' by worldly standards) is a child of God.

He will separate the wheat from the chaff. And the chaff will go into the fire. This is God's disposition of His personal property.

What? You didn't know that God has property rights on a scale we can scarcely imagine, let alone perceive?
