A Living Sacrifice

         ROMANS 12:1,2

    1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.


      
      What does this Bible passage mean? We as Christians are to be examples to the world. We need to represent Christ wherever we go. Our bodies are the temple of the HOLY SPIRIT.   


        1 Corinthians 6:19 says :

19What? 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?  ( KJV)




     Our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit. He dwells within us, however, He cannot dwell in an unholy , sinful place. 


     We need to take care of our bodies by following the 8 laws of Health, which are :




    Nutrition
    Exercise
    Water
  
    Sunlight
    Temperance
    Air
    Rest
    TRUST IN GOD






         Take care of your body , It is not your own!
