20 For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body. 1 Corinthians 6: 20
If God is Supremely Glorious why would He us in our frailty to prove these things to be true? Why would I want to glorify God in my body? How do I glorify God in my body?
12 All things are lawful for me, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be mastered by anything. 13 Food is for the stomach and the stomach is for food, but God will do away with both of them. Yet the body is not for immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord is for the body. 14 Now God has not only raised the Lord, but will also raise us up through His power. 15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take away the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? May it never be! 16 Or do you not know that the one who joins himself to a prostitute is one body with her? For He says, “The two shall become one flesh. ” 17 But the one who joins himself to the Lord is one spirit with Him. 18 Flee immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the immoral man sins against his own body. 19 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? 20 For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body.
Why does God want to be glorified in us if we’re so frail? • So that He can show the fullness of who He is. • So that others can also participate in a relationship with Him. • So that we would have a better understanding of who we ought to be. 12 All things are lawful for me, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be mastered by anything. 13 Food is for the stomach and the stomach is for food, but God will do away with both of them. Yet the body is not for immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord is for the body. 14 Now God has not only raised the Lord, but will also raise us up through His power. 15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ?

20 For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body. 1 Corinthians 6: 20
But why would I want to glorify God in my body? • Because God sets the terms for your body. He’s bought you. …And that you are not your own? 20 For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body.
But why would I want to glorify God in my body? • Because God sets the terms for your body. He’s bought you. • Because your body belongs to Him, and vice-versa. And He dwells in you. 12 All things are lawful for me, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be mastered by anything. 13 Food is for the stomach and the stomach is for food, but God will do away with both of them.

20 For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body. 1 Corinthians 6: 20
A body that glorifies God… Remember that your relationship status is “married to the LORD, ” make decisions considering that. Stop being led by the “lawfulprinciple. ” Be led by the “Is this profitable to God” and the “am I dominating this” principles. Flee sexual immorality.
