1 Corinthians 6:19, 20 - The Holy Spirits Dwelling Place.

1 Corinthians 6:19, 20 (NLT) Dont you 
realize that your body is the temple of the Holy 
Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by 
God? You do not belong to yourself, for God 
bought you with a high price. So you must honor God 
with your body. 

COMMENTARY PEARL

   Every time the news programs report a 
story about vandalism at a church, believers 
cringe. Its hard for us to bear the thought of 
anyone spray-painting graffiti on sanctuary walls 
or damaging the stained glass windows, let 
alone setting fire to a place of worship. Its a 
desecration! The church is a sacred place. 
   Im saddened by the fact that many 
Christians dont have the same qualms when it comes 
to harming the temple of the Holy Spirit - 
their own bodies. Some put junk into their 
stomachs, their veins, or their lungs. Others wear 
themselves down under a weight of stress or exhaustion. 
Some folks justify these abuses as their right: 
Its my body, I can do what I want. But that 
isn't true. 
   First Corinthians 6 says that believers 
are the Lords possession (v. 19). He has 
fashioned these earthen vessels to serve Him and carry 
out the work Hes planned for us to 
accomplish. God created us with a mind, body, and spirit 
- of the three aspects, the body is the one 
that allows us to interact with our environment. 
People cannot reach their full potential while 
neglecting the proper care of their bodies. What good 
are education, talent, and gifts if were too 
tired or sick to complete tasks well? 
   Here in the world, we can do nothing 
apart from our physical body. Since it is the only 
one well have in this life, we should do our 
best to keep it in good condition. Believers 
should also recognize their responsibility to treat 
the earthly frame like the sacred and special 
dwelling place that it is. [In Touch Daily Devotional
