THE BODY AS A TEMPLE (1)

(Message by Tanny Keng)

1. Purity

a) As Christians we are called to live lives that are holy. We are to set aside the evil ways of the world and honor Christ by living in faithful obedience to His commandments.

1 Peter 1:14-16

“As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: ‘Be holy, because I am holy'” 

2. The Body As A Temple

1 Corinthians 3:16   
Do you not know that you  are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?

1 Corinthians 6:15-20 
Do you not know that  your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never! Or do you not know that he who is joined  to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written,  “The two will become one flesh.”  But he who is joined to the Lord  becomes one spirit with him.  

Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin  a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person  sins against his own body.  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. 

The End ...
