AMPLIFIED 2015 | Romans 6:12 ¶ Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its lusts and passions. |
Bible Question: give specific examples of how sins the body are to be refused and specific examples of how one offers one's body to God. from romans 6;12-14 |
Bible Answer: Someone mentioned 1 Cor 6:18. We learn that sexual sins are sins of the body. (I happened to read this verse a minute ago on another post)."Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body." - 1 Cor 6:18. "Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry." -Col 3:5 "The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery;" -Gal 5:19 These are examples. By prayer and God's help and support from friends you will be able to recognize a temptation, and say that small simple word: "NO!" My guess about what the Bible says about "How to offer my body (temple) to God:" "Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you? If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him; for God's temple is sacred, and you are that temple." - 1 Cor 3:16,17. Therefore protect your body from shame and damage (thereby protecting what God created)? "What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: "I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people." - 2 Cor 6:16. I don't know if this is realated, but can you "offer your body" by being near God? When you go about your tasks and people see you... do they want to sin... or follow God- when they hear, see, or follow as you do...? Basically, how can you LOOK/ACT like a Christian? "In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord." -Eph 2:21. Can you "offer your body to God" by attending church? This is a place where a united congregation praises, prays, learns and is warned by God and thanks God. PS. Please, Someone correct me if you think so! Are these verses out of context? Are they talking more about protecting the Holy Spirit, then about "offering"/protecting your body? |
