1 Corinthians chapter 6, verses 18 through 20, flee from sexual immorality.

Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body.

Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you whom you have from God you are

not your own for you were bought with a price so glorify God in your body

there's so much here in these three verses, so much glorious truth that your

body, as a follower of Jesus, your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit. Just that imagery, that

language, you think about the glory of God revealed in the temple in the Old

Testament, this ornate, beautiful structure intended to be a display of God's glory among all the

nations. And God is saying, that is your body. Your body is precious to God. It's valuable to God. And it's a display of his

glory among the nations. What a picture your body, a temple, the dwelling place for God's

Holy Spirit. And so the specific application here in verse 18 is to flee from sexual immorality,

which there's so much we could talk about here, but it's basically this language is any sexual thinking,

desiring out, acting outside of marriage between a husband and a wife, which is God's good design

for the expression of sexual activity, sexual thinking, desiring acting. And so, one, I just want to

encourage you today to remember how God views your body to see yourself as God sees you as the temple of the Holy Spirit.

You want to see the glory of God? Yes, look at the Grand Canyon. Yes, look at the sun rising or

setting over the horizon. Yes, look at the glory of God in stellar galaxies,

but you really want to see the glory of God? Look in the mirror in your body and believe what God

says about your body. It's a temple of the Holy Spirit. See yourself, not the way the world sees you, or what even you might be prone to see yourself

as.

This goes back to 1st Corinthians 4.
