Temple of the Holy Spirit

Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?  For you were bought at a price; therefore, glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s. 1 Corinthians 6:19,20.

                  We are fearfully and wonderfully made by God. The living God lives in the temple of our bodies. God who is holy lives in us and we are the home of God. As our body is the temple of the Holy God, we must treat our body with respect and care. Eating unhealthy food shows that we disregarding the body God gave us to serve him with.

               We have been bought with a price by God and so we no longer belong to ourselves but to God. Let us use our bodies for the glory of God by carrying His presence everywhere we go. God created us and He expects us to use it in the way He intended for it to be used. It is never too late to improve and to do some maintenance for our body. For you are the temple of the Holy God. 2 Corinthians 6:16b.

              Therefore whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all in the glory of God – 1 Corinthians 10:31. As believers, we have the privilege and responsibility of representing Christ through the way we live. Our thoughts, words and deeds must bring glory to God. Let us present our bodies as living sacrifice holy and acceptable to God.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us to treat our bodies with respect as it is the temple of the Holy spirit. Let us glorify You by our body and use it for Your purpose. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
