Have you ever heard of the “Golden Rule of Borrowing”? It goes like this: “Treat the property of others in a manner consistent with the owner’s expectations.” You likely practice that when you borrow something that belongs to your neighbor, exercising the greatest of care as you use it. Is that how you use what belongs to God…namely, your body? That’s right…it belongs to Him. How are you caring for it? How are you using it?

 

1 Corinthians 6:19-20

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 For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body.

 

“Just as a perfect body was created for Jesus Christ and became an

instrument through which He displayed the character of the Father, so a body is given to us to be used, not as a plaything, not as an object for self-gratification, but as an eternal instrument through which we can declare the glory of Jesus Christ.” ~ David Roper

 

The Lord bless you and keep you…
