A Clean Body to Reflect a Clean Spirit
“Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.” (1 Corinthians 6:19-20 WEB)
I have started to enjoy cleaning the house because I love how nice and spacious a room is after disposing of junk and wiping all the dust away.
Did you know that your body is a house? The apostle Peter calls it an “earthly tent” which we temporarily live in for this mortal lifetime.
Would you like it if your house is cluttered with junk and very dirty? I guess no one would like that if they could choose to have a clean house.
The junk in our flesh are the wrong beliefs that we hold on to. It’s good to throw out some junk each day and wash the dirty spots with the water of God’s word. Let the Gospel cleanse your mind until it shines like a freshly mopped floor, reflecting the glory of Christ.
Treat your body well too. Bathe properly, brush your teeth. Eat moderately, stay in shape through regular exercise for the apostle Paul says that physical exercise has some benefit.
When you know that your body is the temple of God, you will want to keep your body clean, beautiful, and set apart from the corruption that is in the world.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ is very powerful. It has the power to cleanse you from the inside out. When you are conscious of how clean you are inside, you will want to be clean outside as well—in your soul and body.
Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. If a righteous human president that you look up to announced that he was coming to stay at your house, wouldn’t you clean up the place and make it somewhere comfortable and befitting his status?
Well, the Holy Spirit is living inside your body, so make it a place that He is pleased to live in. Foul, corrupt speech and committing sexual immorality grieve Him. Imagine that you are making Him live in a trash dump when you do all that.
Receive the Gospel, be renewed in the spirit of your mind daily, and it will produce the desire and power to keep your soul and body clean. It’s a long-term project, so don’t rush—just be consistent. Hallelujah!
