I Corinthians 6: 19, 20
What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom 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.
YOU BELONG TO GOD
Sit and think about these verses from I Corinthians. This is a fact that many do not understand about their body and their spirit. When we are born-again, JESUS fills that Holy Place within us that no one else can fill. Once that is filled, we become a living temple of the Holy Spirit. How is this so, you might ask? It is true because JESUS paid the price for our redemption from the wrath of GOD. His Blood reconciled us to GOD, washed us clean, and when we are born-again, our body is set free from the bondage of sin and death and liberated into the life Eternal. JESUS made this all possible.
Think where you take your body and evaluate whether this is a place that would be pleasing to GOD. Since we are the temple of the Living GOD who is within us, where we go, He goes; where we lodge, He lodges; where we fellowship, He fellowships. Is the place where you go a fit place for the Master?
As we look at our life, let us cast out those places which are not fitting for the LORD GOD and let us add to our life those places which bring JESUS glory that is due His Name. When new opportunities open for us, it is fitting to ask the LORD if this is an opportunity which will be right and good for the LORD to walk and minister. This is a new way of thinking about life, but it is the way of the LORD. We are bearers of the Presence of the Holy Spirit of GOD; we bring JESUS into every place we are found. May His Holy Name be glorified in our life and in our body.
