Title: Respect the Owner
Verses: 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, Galatians 2:20
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; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies. (1 Corinthians 6:19, 20 NIV)
I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. (Galatians 2:20 NIV)
Pastor Peter opened his Soul Talk comparing owners (who have paid the price), renters (who tend to abuse things), and borrowers (who take care of a possession out of respect for the owner). God not only created us, but paid a price for us, and is rightfully our owner. Often we act as though we are owned by others: our jobs, our families, our futures, our peers. We need to allow God His rightful place and then to act accordingly, as borrowers, not even renters. By living our lives as God directs, we live our best life possible.
