"Do you realize that YOUR BODY IS THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, who lives in you and who was given to you by God? You are not your own!
Almost everyone thinks and believes that their body belongs to them. You should be able to do anything you want with your own body, right? You should be able to put anything in your body that you like, in the quantity you like, right. You should be able to use make up and hair coloring that suits you along with tattoos, body piercing, a wardrobe that you desire, right? Modesty is just a suggestion of God, right? Our One Truth Today may be a revelation to many people. Your body is not your own anymore! Your body is now the temple of the Holy Spirit who lives inside of you and was given to you by God! The Lord bought you at a very high price, when He shed His blood for you. Because of His gift and Love you must honor God with your body!
It is true that most of us do not think of ourselves as a temple of the Holy Spirit. We may find it difficult to see ourselves as a sanctuary of the Spirit. Yet the Holy Spirit now resides in us and this gift of God requires us to Honor Him. God Saved us and gave us life, now that He has kept His promise, we as believer's must keep our promises to Him. We must always keep Him first in our lives and worship, honor and obey Him. Do you honor God with your body? Do you realize that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit? Do you know what the Lord told us about meekness, humility and modesty? Do you abuse your body and follow your own desires or do you reflect what would please the Holy Spirit of the Lord?
Your body is meant to glorify, honor and worship Jesus Christ the Lord God. If you have been saved by the Lord then the Holy Spirit is residing in you and fills your heart. As a child of God you are one of the stones in the temple of God. You can not go on sinning habitually as you did in the past. You can not be as concerned about your own body and its comforts anymore, it does not belong to you, it belongs to God. How you use your body will reflect the fruit of the Spirit that is in you. If you can honestly say about anything that you do with and for your body that it is to Honor God, then you are conforming to the Spirit of the Lord! If you are doing any thing for your body to please you, then you need to realize that YOUR BODY IS THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT! IT IS NOT YOUR OWN!
