Bought And Paid For
Do you not know that your bodies are Temples of The Holy Spirit
Who is in you, whom you received from God?
Your are NOT your own;
You were bought with a price.
Therefore, honor God with your bodies.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20
If you have given your life to Jesus who is the Christ, don't fall into the trap of the world view that says such things as "It's my life and I will do what I want. It's my mind and I will think what I want." Or, "You only go around once in life so reach for the gusto." All of this is wrong, and it will leave you with a life pattern that may help you muddle through, but it will not help you live free from the bondage to sin and death.
So let me ask you these questions: Don't you know that your body is the Temple of The Holy Spirit? Don't you know that The Almighty God has taken up residence within His Holy Temple which is indeed you. Are you not aware of the VERY important fact your are not your own? Don't you know that Jesus bought you out of slavery to sin and death when He shed His blood, sacrificed His body, and after dying rose again? Do you have any idea that, because He now lives, He gives you the resurrection power to live a godly life? And finally, since God gives you His Holy Spirit's Power to overcome, do you know how free you really are to choose to really live?
Therefore, step out on faith. Honor God by giving your body to Him everyday as a living sacrifice, and be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Yield to Him so that you will not conform to the patterns of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Do this so that you can test and prove what God's will is. His will for you and everyone is good, pleasing and perfect.
Then be blessed 2day
Especially Today.
