1/5/25: Prioritizing God's Temple: A Call to Physical and Spiritual Stewardship

Jan 5, 2025    Michael Rozell

In this powerful message, we're challenged to view our bodies as sacred temples of the Holy Spirit. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 6, we're reminded that we were bought with a price - the precious blood of Jesus. This perspective shift calls us to honor God with our bodies, not just spiritually, but physically too. The teaching unveils how Satan has placed a veil of complacency over many believers, leading to neglect of physical health. We're encouraged to break free from this deception, recognizing that our physical well-being impacts our ability to serve God effectively. The parallel between Jesus' sacrifice on the cross and our daily choices to care for our bodies is particularly striking. Just as Christ endured physical suffering for our sake, we're called to discipline our bodies for His glory. This message isn't about vanity, but about stewardship - how can we best maintain the vessel God has entrusted to us for His kingdom work?
