Embody the Presence of God

“Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.” 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

If you follow the media, you might think that this text is talking about vanity but that is far from its truth. Our bodies embody the very presence of the living God. And how we treat our bodies speaks volumes of how we view God. Paul explains that our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit. Much like the ark of the covenant that traveled with the Israelites on the way to the promised land, its presence (the ark) was the very representation of God’s presence with them, His chosen people. Today, His spirit dwells in us and if He is truly in us, His presence should influence how we act and what we do. We are a temple not to be adorned but a temple whose light shines that lead people to Christ. #HonorGod #HolySpirit #AliveinChrist #Godispresent #weareHispeople #LiveforChrist #Dietoself #Seethesonrise
