Your Body, The Temple of the Holy Spirit

1 Corintians 6:19-20 (NIV) says “do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?  You are not your own; You were bought at a price.  Therefore honor God with your bodies.”

You say “It’s my body I can do what I want.  I have free choice!” and that may be.  But according to Paul in verse 12 of 1 Corinthians 6, “not everything is beneficial” to you. 

If we are the temple of the Holy Spirit we should want to take care of it – inside and out.
