1 Corinthians 6:12-14 Purpose Of Body 10 Apr 2024

1Co 6:12 'For me everything is permissible';
maybe, but not everything does good.
True, for me everything is permissible,
but I am determined not to be dominated by anything.
13 Foods are for the stomach,
and the stomach is for foods;
and God will destroy them both.
But the body is not for sexual immorality;
14 it is for the Lord,
and the Lord is for the body.
God raised up the Lord and he will raise us up too by his power.

I listen. I learn, little by little.

God's Glory

I am invited to recognize that my body is for God, who is holy. When I am honest, I tend to treat my body just as the stomach described above. I desire to learn to love God more. And my body is certainly one means.

Prayer

Jesus, thank you for my body.
