The Body Is a Sacred Gift. A second truth the scriptures offer about the body is the clarification of its nature as a sacred gift from God. Though in mortality we will all die, because of the Atonement of Jesus Christ we will all be resurrected and united with our bodies forever (see 1 Cor. 15:22).
Feb 28, 2023 · Therefore honor God with your body” (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). Indeed, God the Father created our bodies, God the Son redeemed them, and God the Holy Spirit indwells them.

To the Israelites in the Old Testament, the temple was their sacred meeting place with God. They worshipped there, made sacrifices there, and presented their requests to God. It wasn’t actually until Solomon’s reign as king that the Israelites had a temple (1 Kings 3:1). Before the Israelites had a temple, they had a tabernacle. In Exodus 25:8, God...
1 Corinthians 6:19-20tells us the amazing truth that Christians who have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit are a temple to it. When Jesus came, he eliminated the need for a temple being in a single location. Christians became the temple of God, a house for his Holy Spirit. Because of his blood that made us clean, we can now be considered pure and h...
Don’t allow the devil to grab a foothold (Ephesians 4:27). If your right eye causes you to sin, metaphorically pluck it out (Matthew 5:39). In other words, don’t put yourself in an environment that puts you at a higher risk of engaging in the area in which you are tempted.

Although the chapter is in the context of sexual purity, it does make a point in 1 Corinthians 6:20 that our bodies do not belong to us. God has given us our bodies as a gift for a short period of time on earth. Therefore, we shouldn’t defile something God has given, since every gift from him is good (James 1:17). This means we should ensure to mak...
Society often will promote unnatural standards for beauty and youth. When we find our body doesn’t fit a certain mold, or notice wrinkles and gray hairs, or haven’t accrued the same muscular volume we’ve seen on a celebrity, we may see our bodies as anything but a gift. We have to keep in mind, God made us in his image (Genesis 1:26) and that we ar...
Throughout its history, Israel’s temple had a lot of junk. Antiochus IV Epiphanes set up an idol to Zeus in the temple (Daniel 9:27). A number of the Israelite kings placed idols in the temple themselves (2 Chronicles 33:15), and money changers had turned Jesus’ temple into a den of thieves (Matthew 21:13). Whenever junk entered the temple of God, ...

Aug 6, 2019 · Philip Yancey: Oxygen is to the body what gasoline is to the automobile: it provides the fuel that keeps the engine running. If breath stops for five minutes, you die—our dependence on oxygen is that urgent. In the Bible, the word used for Spirit is the same word used for wind or breath.
