Bring Glory to Him in Your Body

Because we have experienced His great love for us, we wanted to glorify Him in every breath we take. And that includes glorify Him in our body. It’s interesting to find this verse from the bible:

Shun immorality and all sexual looseness [flee from impurity in thought, word, or deed]. Any other sin which a man commits is one outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. (1 Corinthians 6:18)
If we want to love God in everything we do, that includes the sexual purity. I know this is not easy to do while so many things in this world including the cyber world offer such an easy way to do sins, such as internet porn sites. But we need to stay clear and stand firm in our faith that we will glorify Him through our body and seek God’s help in case we find that we’re unable to resist the sins. God will understand us and help us. The most important thing is we need to change our habit, our impurity in thoughts, words or deeds.

Bring Him glory in everything we do and that includes bring glory to Him in our body. He has paid the expensive price for us and He calls us His children, so don’t disappoint Him.

Do you not know that your body is the temple (the very sanctuary) of the Holy Spirit Who lives within you, Whom you have received [as a Gift] from God? You are not your own, You were bought with a price [purchased with a preciousness and paid for, made His own]. So then, honor God and bring glory to Him in your body.
--- 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
