1 Corinthians 6:19-20:
What? 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?
For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
Notes on 1 Corinthians 6:19-20:
Because your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, is the Holy Spirit glorified by a sick temple that does not function properly? Is that any testimony to His quickening power toward our mortal bodies? Of course not. God takes your body very personally. It is not only His temple, but He bought it with a price along with your spirit. It is HIS.
I realize that Paul was primarily talking about glorifying God by keeping your body out of fornication, but there is another application to the truths in these verses. Because sickness does not glorify God, and your body is to glorify God, it logically follows that your body should not have any sickness in it. Surely God does not want your body to only glorify Him when it comes to abstaining from sins but then to fail to glorify Him when it comes to your health.
