When the doctor prescribes medicine for us, the drugs can only do their healing work if we use the drugs as intended. If we were to get a new car, we must take care of it to preserve its usefulness. Electronics must be used as intended or we will quickly find ourselves discarding as useless.
I Corinthians 6:19-20 says, “Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.” If you are a follower of Jesus Christ, your body has been purchased by the blood of Jesus and is undergoing an extreme makeover by the new owner, the Holy Spirit. Use your body in accordance with the new owner’s wishes and to bring Him honor.
If you are not yet a believer in Jesus Christ, you have this opportunity to use your body, mind, spirit, heart and soul for a higher purpose. Simply trust Him to save and redeem you and He will begin the makeover of your life.
