我們的身體

我們的身體
聖經閱讀：哥林多前書6:18-20 現代中譯本|合和本
2015年7月25日(六)

現今有很多人認為他們可以用自己的身體來做任何想做的事，他們吃喝太多、嗑藥，或捲入性犯罪中，所有這些事都會傷害我們的身體。 　在今天閱讀的經文中，保羅提醒我們，說我們的身體對上帝是非常特別的：「你們不知道你們的身體就是聖靈的殿嗎？這聖靈住在你們裏面，是上帝所賜的。你們不屬於自己」（第19節）。如果你是基督徒，你是屬於上帝的，因為祂透過耶穌的死來買贖你，祂的聖靈就住在你裡面。 　我們應當保持身體的潔淨，好讓聖靈有一個好的地方可以住。我們可以藉著遠離會傷害我們身體、導致我們犯罪的事來做到這樣，我們也可以運動、吃健康的食物。 　今天就感謝上帝賜下透過祂的兒子耶穌而來的救恩，請用你的身體來榮耀祂、讚美祂。 －BP* 「因為他用重價買了你們。所以，你們要用身體來榮耀上帝。」 哥林多前書6:20 禱告：親愛的天父，我願用我身體來榮耀祢。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (尤榮輝譯)

Our Bodies
Bible Reading: 1 Corinthians 6:18-20
Saturday, July 25

Many people today think that they can do anything they want with their bodies. They eat or drink too much, take drugs or become involved in sexual sins. All of these things can hurt our bodies. 　In our Bible verses today, Paul reminds us that our bodies are very special to God. “You should know that your body is a temple for the Holy Spirit that you received from God and that lives in you. You don't own yourselves” (verse 19). If you are a Christian, you belong to God. He bought you through the death of Jesus, and His Holy Spirit lives in you. 　We should keep our bodies clean and pure so that the Holy Spirit has a good place to live. We can do that by staying away from things that hurt our bodies and cause us to sin. We can also exercise and eat healthy foods. 　Thank God today for salvation through His Son, Jesus. Use your body to glorify and praise Him! —BP* “God paid a very high price to make you his. So honor God with your body.” 1 Corinthians 6:20 PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, I want to use my body to glorify You. In Jesus' name. Amen.
