Your Body is God’s Temple
““Foods for the belly, and the belly for foods,” but God will bring to nothing both it and them. But the body is not for sexual immorality, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body. Now God raised up the Lord, and will also raise us up by his power. Don’t you know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them members of a prostitute? May it never be! Or don’t you know that he who is joined to a prostitute is one body? For, “The two”, he says, “will become one flesh.” But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit. Flee sexual immorality! “Every sin that a man does is outside the body,” but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.” (1 Corinthians 6:13-20 WEB)
I believe that seeing your body as God’s temple will transform the way you treat it.
If God had designed for us to still be worshipping Him in a temple built of gold, wood, and stones, would you go and defile the walls with graffiti, toss lots of junk into it, have your way with prostitutes inside, and let it fall into disrepute? No way, right?
Probably the number one reason why we don’t treat our bodies right is because we are not conscious of it being God’s temple.
We go around daily, thinking that the condition of our body is not that important, and that other things are more urgent.
When we get busy, hydration is neglected, meals are skipped or irregular, exercise is dropped, hygiene is forgotten, sleep is sacrificed, and the body is just sadly abused.
The body is the house of the Holy Spirit, and we ought to treat it right.
If the president (or someone else of a much higher rank that you respect) announces one day that he will be staying at your house, you will surely clean up the house and prepare it nicely right?
Then why are we so casual when God is dwelling in our body, and He has promised to stay forever? Does He not deserve the grandest, most glorious house with the best maintenance?
Thankfully, we have a better way than natural methods to care for God’s temple. If your body is in a bad state, and needs some major renovation, the Holy Spirit can work an awesome transformation by His power. It is a change that everyone can see.
“Younger and Younger: 31 Days of God’s Youth Renewal Promises” was birthed from a rhema word that I received from within. “Younger and younger.” It was a season about learning how to renew my youth by God’s way, and become overall healthier, stronger, and more beautiful.
Since then, many readers have given good feedback, expressing that people around them also started commenting that they look younger, after they applied the truths shared within the book.
Some readers especially love the “Eternal Youth Declarations Audio” that comes as a bonus mp3 file to recap on the youth declarations in the book, and it’s also a good way to have God’s youth renewal promises confessed over you all day long. Soaking yourself in God’s word is always a powerful, life-giving, and beneficial activity.
