Day 285..."The Bible is not boring...Our body is God's temple"
Who ever said the Bible was boring had not read Hosea! Listen to what he says..."For a spirit of whoredom has led them astray, and they have left their God to play the whore." I suppose this is as direct as a prophet ever speaks. Later there is a little more hope..."Though you play the whore, O Israel, let not Judah become guilty. Enter not into Gilgal, nor go up to Beth-aven, and swear not, “As the Lord lives.” Like a stubborn heifer, Israel is stubborn;can the Lord now feed them like a lamb in a broad pasture?" Jeremiah also has an image of a adultery..." For the land is full of adulterers; because of the curse the land mourns,and the pastures of the wilderness are dried up. Their course is evil, and their might is not right. “Both prophet and priest are ungodly;even in my house I have found their evil, declares the Lord." Paul, in Romans, teaches of the absurdity of immorality with a prosititute... "Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never! Or do you not know that he who is joined to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written, “The two will become one flesh.” But he who is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with him. Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body." Later, Paul says our body actually belongs to God. 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." The body is God's temple and does change our attitude, when we take this teaching to heart...in regard to everything!

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, 20 for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.
Corinthians 3:16
16 Do you not know that you [2] are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? 17 If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For God's temple is holy, and you are that temple.
These verses help us to reinforce that it is good to take care of our body - God's temple. By doing so, we are closer to God.
