PAUL ADDRESSES CHURCH PROBLEMS (1:1-6:20)
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own, you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.
What did Paul mean when he said that our bodies belong to God? Many people say they have the right to do what ever they want with their own bodies. Although they think that this is freedom, they are really enslaved to their own desires. When we become Christians, the Holy Spirit fills and lives in us. Therefore, we no longer own our bodies. “Bought at a price” refers to slaves purchased at auction. Christ’s death freed us from sin, but also obligates us to his service. If you live in a building owned by someone else, you try not to violate the building’s rules.
Lets Bring it Home:Because your body belongs to God, you must not violate his standards for living.
