1 Corinthians 6:13-14
As believers, many of us have been made to believe something that is clearly false in the Scriptures. This world tells us that “the body we have is our body, therefore we can do with it what we want.” If you believe this, follow this simple logic with me...
Who made your body?
God. Who took on flesh and came
to live in bodily form without sin for us?
Immanuel (God with us). Whose
body was killed and raised again three days later to redeem you and your
body? God. Who’s coming again to judge the deeds and
misdeeds you’ve done in your body?
God. Who will you and your body
spend eternity with someday in the future?
God. So, who owns your body? God does.
Scripture is clear that your body is God’s body, and we can’t as a Bible
believing Christians argue otherwise. We did not create it, we
did not redeem it, we are not going to resurrect it and we are not going to
judge it. Your body, my body, our
bodies, this body is God’s body, therefore we are to be a good stewards of it
and honor God with it.
God did not give you this body to do with it what you want. He gave it to you to honor
Him, and bring glory to Him, and to worship and obey Him.
