We’re in this series, “Don’t Fight Naked”, and talking about how to stand firm in our faith (See Ephesians 6:10-18). Yesterday I mentioned that we are no longer our own…

1 Corinthians 6:19-20…    ”19 Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.”

When I became a follower of Christ, I received the forgiveness of my sins, His presence in my life, and the gift of eternal life. In exchange, my life, my body, my mind, are now His.

I’m seeking to live the rest of my life for His glory. I’m not free to choose to do things with my body that He paid the price for on the cross. As 1 Peter 5:8a says… “Be self-controlled and alert.”
