Your Body is Sacred

Sexual sin is different from other sins because it violates the sacredness of our bodies.

Say it with me:

My body is sacred.

Because it is sacred, we cannot do whatever we please with what God paid such a high price for. Our bodies are not simply our own to use however we choose.

Your body belongs to God.

He created it, and through Jesus Christ He redeemed it. That means our bodies are not ordinary—they are set apart for His purposes.

When we remember that truth, it changes how we think about purity, temptation, and obedience.

If you find yourself struggling with behaviors that do not honor God, do not lose hope. Take it to the Lord in prayer. Ask the Savior to help you turn away from anything that does not please Him—in thought or in action.

God never leaves us without help. His Word reminds us that He always provides a way of escape when we are tempted.

“Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.”
— 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

Your body is sacred.

Honor it.
Protect it.
Use it to glorify God.
