Daily Scripture

“Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were brought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.” 
1 Corinthians 6:18-20, NIV

Daily Encouragement

As Christians, the Holy Spirit fills us and lives in us. As the verse reads, our bodies are a “temple of the Holy Spirit”. Since we have received the Holy Spirit from God, our bodies are no longer our own, which means we should not live by our fleshly desires. Jesus’ death on the cross freed us from being a slave to sin. We were bought at the price of the precious blood of Jesus, who is the perfect lamb without blemish or defect.


The one who is united with the Lord is one with Him in spirit. Our bodies are made to honor God, not do whatever our sinful flesh desires. Many people say that people are free to do whatever they want to do with their bodies. Yes, we do have free will, but God’s people should live in a way that honors Him with their bodies and what they do. 

Daily Reflection

Is there sexual immorality in your life? Sexual immorality comes in many different forms, but it is never honoring to God or the body. Paul wrote to the Corinthians to flee from sexual immorality, and the same applies to us today. What is the Holy Spirit leading you to do to flee from sexual immorality or any sin other in your life? The Spirit will always nudge you in the way you should go. Though it is your choice to act on the obedience of what the Lord is saying. God provides a way out of our temptation. Read 1 Corinthians 10:12-13.
