Bible Question: Once we have settled the "ownership" issue, how do we "glorify God" in our body? |
Bible Answer: Hi Mommapbs, I know that you are interested in reconciling different church bodies right now. I think that it is important that we glorify God in our churches as well as in our bodies of flesh. 1 Cor 6:19, "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? 20, [NKJ], For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's." The person who joins himself/herself to the Lord is one spirit. 1 Cor 6:17 You are right to settle the ownership issue right away. We are one spirit, which are God's. 1 Cor 6:20, "...therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are of **God." Ephesians 4:11, "And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, 12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of **Christ;..." Blessings to you. From the heart, Ray |
