Our Body Is The Temple Of God

The scripture laid emphasis on the main reasons why Christians should not entertain sexual sins. It is stated

“Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man (and a woman) does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s” (1 Corinthians. 6:18-20).

Lesson:

God required his children to honor him with the purity of body, mind, and soul. In fact, the scripture declared that "Our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit" (1 Corinthians 6:19). Hence, it becomes plain that God will not appreciate people that entertain sexual sin, but he will judge them. It is therefore important that every child of God consider it an important matter to maintain the sanctity of life. Sexual immorality is an abomination to God, and every child of God must consider it a plague - and run from it! Jehovah will honor people that honor him with their "body and soul," but he will condemn the sinner to the pit of hell - unless repented!

Prayer:

Dear God, I understand that sexual sin is an abomination to you; therefore, I want to stop the practice in my life. I am sorry for those sexual sins that I have committed in the past, I am now determined to live a holy life before you. I will not entertain sexual sin anymore! From now on, I will abstain from anything that can corrupt my mind; I will stop all my immoral activities. I will be conscious of holiness, and I will do my best to practice it. Please fill me with your Holy Spirit, and empower me to do the right thing at all times. At the end of my earthly race, let me be awarded your medal of honor in heaven for standing uprightly with you. For in the name of Jesus Christ I make my requests. Amen.
