You should know that your body is a temple for the Holy Spirit that you received from God and that lives in you. You don’t own yourselves.  God paid a very high price to make you his. So, honor God with your body. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 ERV

These verses teach that your body is God’s temple; live accordingly. Paul reminds believers that our bodies are not merely our own but are temples of the Holy Spirit, bought at great cost. This truth reshapes how we think about daily choices: what we do with our bodies matters spiritually because God dwells within us and because Christ’s sacrifice redeemed us. Living as God’s temple means honoring God in how we speak, act, rest, and relate to others, refusing habits that harm our bodies or dishonor God, and embracing practices that reflect gratitude for the price paid for our freedom. Let this reality move you from casual Christianity to a life of reverent stewardship: care for your body, protect your holiness, and let your life point others to the One who redeemed you.

Dear Blessed Lord Jesus, help us honor You with our bodies. Jesus, thank You and praise You for making my body Your dwelling through the Spirit and for buying me with Your life. Give me wisdom to steward my body well, strength to turn from what dishonors You, and a heart of gratitude that shows in how I live. Fill me with Your presence so my life reflects Your holiness and points others to Your grace. Love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory in Your Mighty Precious Name Jesus Amen.
