Scripture Reading: I
Corinthians 6:19-20
"Do you not know
that your bodies are members of Christ" (I Corinthians 6:15)?
The Scriptures speak of our human physical bodies, Christ's physical
body that was resurrected, and Christ's spiritual Body "the
church which is His body" (Ephesians 1:22-23). However, in the
verse just quoted (I Corinthians 6:15), we see that not only are we
spiritual members of the "Body of Christ," but our physical
bodies are members of Christ as well. Therefore, one could say that
there is a sense in which Christ has a physical body on earth today;
and our physical bodies make up that body. Like one dear brother has
said: "This truth has a very practical application to it."
Give it some serious thought.
God made the physical
body, that He gave us, "for the Lord, and the Lord for the
body" (I Corinthians 6:13). Our passage would teach us that God
has a claim on our bodies in this life and in the life to come.
Sometimes we think because God has set us free, we are our own
bosses .... My body belongs to me now, to do with it what I please.
Are you your own boss? "Do you not know that to whom you
present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one's slaves whom
you obey, whether of sin to death, or of obedience to
righteousness?" (Romans 6:16) ... Truly, someone else owns you;
but you can determine which one you allow to own you. "Do you
not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in
you, whom you have from God, and YOU ARE NOT YOUR OWN? For you were
bought at a price; THEREFORE GLORIFY GOD IN YOUR BODY!" (I
Corinthians 6:19-20) ... This is done by letting the Holy Spirit
control your physical body. .
