"But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live." Romans 8: 11 KJV
Those of us whom God called to be alive in Christ have deserted our old fleshly ways.. but not our bodies. God never told us to destroy our bodies, but to destroy the practices of it. What then is the body usefull for?
God not only wants to fill your soul but your body as well. Sometimes we get it mixed up and think that our bodies are useless to God and only considered as an obstruction to our Christian walk. Not true!
Yes, before I was a Christian my body was a slave to sin and I followed after it. Then when I was saved and the Spirit of the Lord entered me, He made my body alive to be the service of God.
Believer - Don't let Satan play another trick on you, your body as well as your soul is alive in Christ and no longer enslaved by sin. Stop making the body your enemy, if you do, you will become your own enemy!
"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service." Romans 12:1
Beloved Christians, love your body (Ephesians 5:28), since it is made pure (Hebrews 10:22)
stop masturbating, lusting, sleeping with others, cheating on your spouse, over eating, drinking, and smoking - you will be held accountable for it all in the judgement seat
2 Cor 5:10 "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad."
what I write here comes from my own experience so that I would tell it to you and that you would also let the Holy Spirit work in your life. Amen.
