Your Body is For God’s Use First

We are instructed today by the Lord to give our bodies to God because of all He has done for us. Our bodies are to become a living holy sacrifice unto the Lord. Jesus was a living sacrifice given for the souls of mankind that would otherwise be burning in hell with unquenchable fire; along with the constant eating of your flesh by worms (Mark 9:48). This is only part of what God has done for us, but the most important part. At the time Jesus sacrificed his body for us we were enemies of God because of our sin nature (Romans 5:10). This kind of love won’t be easily found in mankind’s heart. Jesus set the example through His work at Calvary. Giving His body as a living sacrifice for God’s use. We are to follow this example by becoming dead to our flesh (not letting the inordinate desires of your body rule you). As we become more involved with the Lord’s ways and how He operates, we can follow His lead and trust the outcome will benefit us and the Lord. Give your body which is the temple of the Holy Spirit to honorable deeds (1 Corinthians 6:19). Not allowing dishonorable things to be done to your body and unimaginable wild activities which are not conducive to the Spirit of the living God living in you. That’s the reality of the human body’s first priority in this life. Boom!
