1 Corinthians 6:20 (NKJV) 20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.
One of the most important things we can learn to remember as a believer is that we are not our own.
We were bought at a price. And that price was very high. That price was paid by God, through the death of Jesus.
In return, God asks that we glorify Him in our bodies. This can take on many different shapes throughout our lives.
This means that, overall, our lives should exemplify Him in every way possible.
Exemplifying Him can take on many different forms for each of us. But no matter who we are, it means that our lives point to Him as our Lord above all else.
Sometimes it might mean being a helping hand to someone in need. Other times it may mean showing someone love who is feeling down and out. Or it might be that we smile and encourage someone who is depressed or alone.
There are many, many different ways we can glorify God in our bodies. We may end up doing some things in ways that we would never have thought of. But God can use us in an unlimited number of ways, as long as we keep ourselves open and available for Him.
Last, but not least, we can glorify Him in our bodies by being careful to take care of ourselves. He has blessed us with a physical body that is wonderfully created. So, as He asks us to glorify Him, let’s be sure to keep ourselves healthy so we can be available as He has need of us.
