You don't belong to you!



If you are a follower of Jesus you don't belong to you! Did you know that? Look here:

1 Corinthians 6:19-20
19 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? 20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.

You as a follower of Jesus have given yourself to Him and your life now is all about glorifying Jesus! Wow! Think on that for a while and then ask yourself, is your life lived out in that fashion? 

Verse 19 tells us that our bodies are the temple of God...the Holy Spirit. What kind of home are you providing for God? Are you taking good care of God's home? Remember you are not yours! If followers of Jesus can grasp this point it will totally redefine their lives. God owns me!

Verse 20 tells us we were bought a price. What was that price? The shed blood and death of Jesus for our sins!! So because of this we are to glorify God with our bodies and our spirits because they are now God's! 

Each day we may need to remind ourselves, I am God's! Let me not do my will today but the will of my Father in heaven for He owns me!

Dwell on this today...it is deep!
