Bible Question: Once we have settled the "ownership" issue, how do we "glorify God" in our body? |
Bible Answer: Mommapbs, This may help. 1 Cor 6:19-20 "Paul's vison becomes trinitarian. A temple sacred by reason ogf God's gift, his indwelling Spirit. Not your own; but "for the Lord," who aquires ownership by the act of redemption. Glorify God in your body: the argument concludes with a positive imperative to supplem,ent the negative "avoid immorality" of v. 18. Far from being terrain that is morally indifferent, the area of sexuality is one in which our relationship with God (and his Christ and his Spirit)is very intimately expressed: he is either highly glorified or deeply offended."
