It’s Not Your Body [1 Corinthians 6:12-13]

Our bodies are a gift from God, yet we often misuse or neglect them. Whether it's overindulgence in food, sex, or substances, or exhausting ourselves through overwork, we risk dishonoring what God designed for good. Some even preserve their bodies like fragile art pieces, missing out on using them to serve and love others.1 Corinthians 6 reminds us that our bodies belong to God, and He calls us to honor Him with them. This means living out our sexuality well, caring for our physical well-being, and embracing rest as an act of trust in God’s provision. Our fitness should empower us to love others well, not become a pursuit of status or control.If your body feels out of balance—whether through addiction, neglect, or overwork—God’s power can bring healing. Surrender your body to Him, embrace truth in community, and take steps to align your life with His priorities.
