My Body Is All About God Series

c. What a beautiful, meaningful and fulfilling plan from God for men, women, and marriage.

d. Studies show that religious people, committed to keeping God’s marriage covenant, experience significantly higher levels of sexual satisfaction, than other groups of people.

e. Perhaps that would make a good headline for evangelistic purposes!

9. Although we don’t have time to go into it today, the application of the truth that our bodies are not our own also applies to things like abortion, same sex marriage, and sex change operations.

N. Our bodies belong to God and we must use them according to God’s will.

1. Ten years ago, I preached a series that I called “Wholly Devoted” where we explored how to be wholly devoted to God.

2. We talked about how to take every part of our bodies and devote them to God – everything from our minds to our tongues, our eyes and ears, our hands and feet, and even our knees.

3. We must not use any parts of our bodies as tools for unrighteousness, but we must use all the parts of our bodies as tools for righteousness.

4. We are not our own, we were bought at a price, therefore we must honor God with our bodies.

5. My body and your body is God’s tool, so we must maintain it, and my body and your body is God’s temple, so we must respect it.

6. May God give us the desire and the ability to make our bodies all about God.

7. If we can help you in your spiritual relationship with God, then please come talk to one of us during the song we are about to sing, or after the worship service.
