The Scriptures tell us in 1 Corinthians 6:15, 19-20, that our body is a temple of the Holy Spirit and that we who are saved are not our own. We have been purchased through the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. Consequently, our bodies, indeed, our lives and all we have are to be used to bring honor and glory to His name.
