Glorify God In Your Body

'For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit which are God's'.

Is it possible to have confessed Christ and saviour and still be slaves to the flesh and its works? Can we say we have been saved and yet continue in our former ways? What then is the difference between the beliver and the unbelieving sinner? Would living in sin not make the saving power of Christ of none effect?
The believers in Corinth were not clear on the concept of holy living. Fornication, adultery and all other filthy works of flesh was rampant amonth them. They saw nothing sinful in sleeping with a harlot in a brothel. Surely that is not what the gospel stands for. The power of sin is broken by the extraordinary grace of God at salvation. Thenceforth we live no longer for sin. We are no longer to be slaves to the flesh and Satan. Our loyalty changes. We are now born again. That is the experience of the new birth. Old things are passed away and all things become new.

You cannot claim to be born again and be happy committing adultery. It is ungoldy. Why are you still making love to unidentified being in your dreams? Is that the life in the kingdom of God? No.

Your body is now the property of Christ. If you are truly his, live a holy life. Dedicate your body to him. Stop patronizing harlots like Samson did. That way is the highway to destruction and fall from grace. Samson had the power of God and great annointing but he broke the covenant. He disobeyed God and his parents. His life was cut short prematurely just for not glorifying God in his body. You don't want to end your life like that.
