1 Corinthians 6:14
Comments
The body is not a disposable item. Man is made body and soul and is not complete without his body. Even though the body is buried in dishonour, it is not to be abandoned. The body of Christ was raised up and delivered from decay as a pattern of what will happen also to our bodies. Even though they are mortal and even though they grow old and decay, they will be raised as spiritual bodies, just as Christ’s was. He retains a glorified body forever, and so will we. The body should therefore not be made light of, and sins such as fornication against the body are extremely serious. Without cleansing and the forgiveness of the Lord, sins committed against the body will somehow have eternal consequences, for Scripture teaches that even the unconverted will participate in a resurrection, but in their case a resurrection of damnation (John 5:28-29). The sins committed against their bodies will somehow affect them for all eternity.
Application
Have you ever been tempted to anything unclean? Here is the remedy for avoiding any form of impurity or uncleanness. It is so powerful; look at the reasoning: ‘And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.’ This mortal body must be treated even now in the light of what God will one day make it, for there is a continuity between the body we have now and the body we will be given at the resurrection, despite there being great differences between them.
