Romans 12:1 (NKJV) 12 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.
Our bodies are not our own. We belong to the One who created us and redeemed us.
As followers of Christ, it’s important that we not use our bodies for anything that dishonors God or is contrary to His word.
Are we partaking in things that damage our bodies? Are we smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol, using drugs, engaging in promiscuous behavior? Are we watching unsuitable things on TV, in movies or on the Internet?
Are we listening to music that promotes racism, hatred, sex outside of marriage, violence and other types of worldly behavior?
Are our mouths sanctified? Or are we uttering profanity, hatred toward others, slanderous words or gossip?
This message is not meant to be a scolding or a reprimand. But a reminder that we do not belong to ourselves, and that God wants us to live holy, sanctified lives that exemplify Him each day. And He has equipped us to be able to do so by the power of His spirit dwelling in us.
1 Peter 1:15-16 (NKJV) 15 but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, 16 because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.”
