1 | what is ment by the body is the temple? | 1 Cor 6:19 | Robert Nicholson | 148741 | ||
Greetings 980 fairburn rd: I believe that 1 Corinthians 6:19 sheds light on your question. "Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own?" (1 Cor 6:19) Clearly, this verse is referring to those who have been born again and are indwelt by the Holy Spirit of God. Paul in writing to the Corinthians telling them why it is so important for believers to treat and use our bodies for Christ. In this chapter starting at verse 9 to the end of the chapter, Paul is teaching the need for purity among believers. He is speaking specifically about the seriousness of immorality in a believer's life. In Verse 20 we read "For your are bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's" (1 Cor 6:20) From this verse we see that Paul is including the whole person and their need to glorify God in their body and spirit. In Romans 12:1 we have a similar plea "Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship." God bless you Robert Nicholson |
