Temples of God’s Glory

Job 34; 1 Corinthians 4-6 

“…The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. By his power God raised the Lord from the dead, and he will raise us also. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself?...he who unites himself with the Lord is one with him in spirit.”

1 Corinthians 6:13-15, 17

When the Lord Jesus comes at our salvation, and indwells our lives by his Spirit, our bodies become temples that are filled with the Holy Spirit. The purpose of our bodies is to worship God and contain his glory. There is no room for sexual immorality in our bodies because we belong to God himself. It is the absence of this reality in our lives that causes us to use our bodies for sexual sin. The living presence of God will not co-habit with unclean, sexual practices and powers. Let us re-dedicate our temples this day.

“Lord Jesus, fill my life with your Spirit and glory. I renounce lesser gods and choose you.”
