One God - God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit

1 CORINTHIANS 6:19 “DO YOU NOT KNOW YOUR BODY IS THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, WHO IS IN YOU, WHOM YOU RECEIVED FORM GOD? YOU ARE NOT YOUR OWN; YOU WERE BOUGHT AT A PRICE. THEREFORE HONOUR GOD WITH YOUR BODY.” Readily available is an independence with Christ who has made believers free from bondage, in which they must stand firmly. A Christian should never put themselves into the power of any bodily appetite. The body is for the Lord; and is to be an instrument of decency, therefore is never made for an tool of selfish abuse and error of sin. It is an honour to the body, that the Christian person is a living temple for God’s Holy Spirit. The Christian should value the body as a sacred place where God dwells, and that by The Holy Spirit’s presence and power all vices are able to be conquered. God should be glorified in everything that is done by the Christian out of love and appreciation. The hope of a resurrection to glory, should keep believers from dishonouring their bodies by harmful fleshly desires. Vices that are cautioned against may be conquered as effects fall not only directly upon the body, but often upon the mind. The soul is united to Christ by faith, the whole person is a member of His spiritual body. Disciples have been redeemed from deserved condemnation and hopeless slavery by the atoning sacrifice of Christ. Christians are to be clean vessels fitted for His use. Being united to Christ as one, and bought with a price of such value, the believer should consider themself as completely the Lord's, by the strongest bond. To the lastt day and hour of our lives, believers should try to glorify God with their bodies, with their souls and spirits, all which are his. Christians are recipients of God’s mercy and should not violate God’s standards for living as His people. ISBN 0 9585763 3 5 ©
