Our Body is a Temple of the Holy Ghost

              I Corinthians 6: 19-20 says (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.)  We as Christians need to remember that our body is a temple. I cringe when I see women wearing shorts that barely cover there buttocks, and shirts that show their bellies or cleavage. I am not a fan of tattoos on a man or a woman. I don’t believe that a man should have his ear pierced or any other part of his body; However I don’t think there is anything wrong with a women having pierced ears, but that’s all, I don’t think any other part of the body should have piercings.  We are to Glorify God in our body.  Tattoos and piercings are not glorifying to God.

     

         When we ask God to come into our lives and into our hearts to live we are giving God our body we need to glorify God in the way we dress. That means for us Women that we need to wear shirts that cover our bodies and Shorts or skirts that come down at least close to our knees. I don’t think a woman should have her nose pierced or eyebrow pierced or any other part or her body other than her ears. But even that I think should be limited. I have seen women with pierced all the way up there ears I don’t believe that this is glorifying to God. Men I don’t think you should stain your bodies with tattoos nor have piercings of any kind.

 

       Our Bodies are temples they are something Holy and precious.  We are to take care of them to keep them healthy as well as clean and well dressed. Sometimes that means watching what we eat or exercising to keep off that extra weight.  What are bodies are like on the inside is just as important as how they are on the outside.

    Next time you pick out your clothing to wear or think about getting a tattoo or a piercing think about your body being a temple of the Holy Ghost and ask yourself is this glorifying to God?
