READ
1 Corinthians 6:19-20
"19 Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, 20 for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body.”

REFLECT
When you become a Christian, the Holy Spirit comes to live inside of you. Think about that for a minute - our bodies are a temple for the Holy Spirit. We no longer own our bodies because our bodies belong to God. God bought us for a very high price - the death of His son. Jesus’ death on the cross freed us from our sins, BUT it also obligates us to His service.
