Post 122 · Day 32-1: 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 – Body as Temple

"What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's." — 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (KJV)

Who? Corinthian believers struggling with sexual immorality — by extension all Grace Age believers.
Dispensation: Grace Age — the Spirit now indwells believers individually, not a temple building.
Key Motivation: Not law-keeping but ownership — we belong to God, purchased by blood.

Physical purity in the Grace Age is not asceticism or legalism but theology lived out. Your body is where the Holy Spirit dwells — this changes everything about how we treat it. Sexual sin is uniquely serious because it involves the body where God Himself resides. The motivation is not shame but honor — we were bought at infinite cost, so we honor the One who paid it.

Application: Before any physical decision today — food, rest, exercise, entertainment — ask: "Does this honor the Temple where God dwells?" Let this reframe health and purity from duty to devotion.
