WHY IS MY BODY SO IMPORTANT?

• Im now Gods Temple.

You surely know that your body is a Temple where
the Holy Spirit lives. The Spirit is in you and
is a gift from God. You are no longer your own.
God paid a great price for you. So use your body
to honor God. 1 Cor.619-20 (CEV)
48
Didn't you realize that your body is a sacred
place, the place of the Holy Spirit? Don't you
see that you can't live however you please,
squandering what God paid such a high price for?
The physical part of you isnt some piece of
property belonging to the spiritual part of you.
God owns the whole works. So let people see God
in and through your body. 1 Cor.619-20 (The
Message)
