Body Of Christ

1 Corinthians 6:17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. 19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. 1. God is the owner of the whole man. Soul, body, and spirit are his. 2. Here Jehovah has given a specimen of himself; for man was made in the image of God. 3. The living organism is God's property. It belongs to him by creation and by redemption; and by a misuse of any of our powers we rob God of the honor due him. 4. We are God's workmanship, and his word declares that we are "fearfully and wonderfully made." He has prepared this living habitation for the mind; it is "curiously wrought," a temple which the Lord himself has fitted up for the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. 5. The very flesh in which the soul tabernacles, and through which it works, is the Lord's. 6. Man was the crowning act of the creation of God, made in the image of God, and designed to be a counterpart of God. . . . Man is very dear to God, because he was formed in his own image. This fact should impress us with the importance of it’s designed to represent God to the world. 7. Have I not the right to do as I please with my own body? -- No, you have no moral right, because you are violating the laws of life and health which God has given you. You are the Lord's property, -- his by creation and his by redemption. Every human being is under obligation to preserve the living machinery that is so fearfully and wonderfully made. 8. Jesus did not ignore the claims of the body, He had respect for the physical condition of man, and went about healing the sick, and restoring their faculties to those suffering from their loss. 9. The obligation we owe to God in presenting to him clean, pure, healthy bodies is not comprehended. 10. Our very bodies are not our own, to treat as we please, to cripple by habits that lead to decay, making it impossible to render to God perfect service. We are absolutely dependent upon God. 11. It was a wonderful thing for God to create man, to make mind. The Lord Jesus is the author of our being, and he is also the author of our redemption; and every one who will enter the kingdom of God must develop a character that is the counterpart of the character of God. None can dwell with God in a holy heaven but those who bear his likeness. Those who are redeemed will be overcomers; they will be elevated, pure, one with Christ. 1.
