I Corinthians 6:19-20 NKJV Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.
Another way we can glorify God is with our bodies. We glorify God with our bodies by resisting the urge to be sexually immoral.
God knows our flesh desires sexual sins. For single people, it’s fornication. For married people, it’s adultery. For others, it’s homosexuality. Regardless of the temptation, when we fight against the urge to be sexually immoral, we glorify God. We’re letting God, the devil, and everyone else know that God is more important than satisfying the desires of our flesh.
We resist sexually immoral urges by renewing our minds with the word of God (Rom. 12:2). Whatever God’s word says about that thought, we agree with it regardless of how our flesh feels.
Also, when an immoral thought comes, we take authority over it and tell it to leave our minds. Then replace that thought with things that are true, noble, just, pure, lovely, a good report, virtuous, and anything worthy of praise (Phil. 4:8).
It may be difficult at times, but honor and glorify God in your bodies. Since that’s what He told us to do, that’s the best thing for us.
