1 Corinthians 6:14

To justify continuing to live a sinful lifestyle after receiving Jesus as their Savior, Corinthian Christians would say,”Foods for the stomach and the stomach for food.” Meaning it wasn’t a big deal to give their body anything it wanted. After all, they were free from the law. But the Apostle Paul was quick to correct their wrongful thinking. Because as Christians, our bodies are meant for a higher purpose. To honor the Lord. Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, sacred vessels deserving of respect, love, and honor. And as such, the choices we make should reflect love, purity, and gratitude for the divine dwelling within us. We dishonor God with our bodies when we engage in actions that violate His moral principles. From indulging in harmful, immoral behaviors, to neglecting our well-being. Honoring God with our bodies is an expression of gratitude for the precious gift of life and a recognition of His presence within us. And one day, our bodies will be raised in glory. They will be incorruptible, marvelous, and the perfect likeness of Jesus!

Instead the grace extended to us through the blood of Jesus, gives us the freedom to serve others in love. To set aside our worldly nature for a Christlike one, which values the needs of others above our own.
