“Do you not know that your body is a sanctuary of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body.” 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
Possibly the only verse that some people know from the Bible. Possibly the most misinterpreted/misused verse in the Bible. Humans love to find anything they can to justify their actions and beliefs. "Logic" doesn't exist as much as people think it does in regards to how they make decisions. Most of us use emotions to determine what we should do or say or feel. This verse does not give you a green light to skip church to go to the gym, nor does it give you God's blessing to ridicule your family members for eating meat. This verse tells us to act as if the Holy Spirit (God/Jesus) is living inside us ALL OF THE TIME. Not just at church on Sunday or when you pray but also when you "go out" on Friday night and when you are upset with someone and curse them under your breath.
Lord, help me to realize that You are with me ALWAYS and You don't like when I take You places or subject You to things that You don't want to be around.
