Something To Think About
Something to think about
Why do we say this is my body? Yet in 1st Corinthians 6:19-20 it says you are not your Own, therefore honor God with your body,” Yet we tattoo the body, we pierce the body and do what we wont with the body and if someone says anything about it, the first thing comes out is this is my body and I can do what I want to my body. I must ask this , if this is our body and not God’s creation, why do we need someone to fix it when something is wrong with the body?. We should be able to fix ourselves if this is our body.
Something to think about
1 Corinthians 6:19-20
Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.
What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
The Temple of Israel was where God dwelled among his people. It was a holy place, set apart for God's purposes and presence. The Apostle Paul is telling us here that this is what our bodies have become. "Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit."
Our bodies have now been set apart for God's Holy Spirit to live in. This is an amazing thought! Because of this we are not to treat our bodies like they were given to us merely for our own personal use.
God paid a great price for us with the life and death of his Son. We are responsible to take good care of our bodies-valuing them-and in so doing, honoring the God who now dwells within.
