You
Are Not Your Own;
You
Were Bought At A Price.
Therefore
Honor God With Your Bodies.
Scripture
1
Corinthians 6
19 Do you
not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is
in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;
Observation
Social
distancing – up until a couple of weeks ago I had never heard of
such a thing! But as this coronavirus continues to spread it is more
and more important for us to distance ourselves as much as possible
from each other so this virus can run its course and stop. Lives are
at risk!
Why
does it matter? It matters to me because life is so precious.
I
have been blood bought. I have been bought with the blood of Jesus
Christ!
Life
is so precious that God left Heaven, came down to Earth, took on
human flesh, as Jesus Christ. For 33 years Jesus lived a sinless life
and then allowed Himself to be crucified on a cross. His blood paid
the price for my sins so that I could be forgiven and so that I could
have Eternal life and live forever with Him.
God
loves every person on this planet. They are made in His image. And
God wants all men and women to hear about Jesus and have the
opportunity to place their faith and their trust in Him; to trust in
what He did for them on the cross.
2
Peter 3:9
The
Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness.
Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but
everyone to come to repentance.
Ephesians
2:13
But
now you have been united with Christ Jesus. Once you were far
away from God, but now you have been brought near to him through
the blood of Christ.
Hebrews
10:19
And
so, dear brothers and sisters, we can boldly enter heaven’s Most
Holy Place because of the blood of Jesus.
Hebrews
13:12
So
also Jesus suffered
and died outside the city gates to make his people holy by
means of his
own blood.
Application
I
will do my best to practice social distancing for the well being of
others. And I will tell people about Jesus every chance I get!
How
about you?
1
Peter 1:2
God
the Father knew you and chose you long ago, and his Spirit has made
you holy. As a result, you have obeyed him and have been cleansed by
the blood of Jesus Christ.
May God give you more and more grace and peace.
1
John 1:7
But
if we are living in the light, as God is in the light, then we have
fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus,
his Son, cleanses us from all sin.
Revelation
1:5
and
from Jesus Christ.
He is the faithful witness to these things, the first to rise from
the dead, and the ruler of all
the kings of the
world. All glory to him who loves us and has freed us from our sins
by shedding his blood for
us.
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, I pray and ask You to stop this virus. I know that You can
stop it in a moment … You are God. Nothing is too hard for You. I
also know that this virus would not be spreading around the world
without Your permission. So I realize that You are allowing it for a
reason. It is way beyond what we as humans can understand. Your ways
are not our ways. I pray that this crisis brings many people to place
their trust and their faith in Jesus. Use this crisis to bring
salvation to thousands of people around the world. Show Yourself
powerful in the midst of this growing and worsening situation. You
are mighty God.
