🔸️ In our body, the God's home, Holiness must grow! 🔸️

Once I was talking to a Christian, who smokes. I asked him, "Can you sit in your church and smoke a cigarette?" To which he replied "It can never be! Because, the church building is the house of God!" Then I said, "Brother, truly your body is the house of God (1Corinthians 6:19) and I added "No church building is the house of God!" Further, I said to him "As you said, you will not commit adultery in a church building! You will not see pornographic websites inside a church building! But, when Christ lives in you, your body is the house of God. So be very careful what you do with your body parts!" 

Yes, smoking, consumption of alcohol and drugs or allowing unclean thoughts to enter our mind... will destroy our body and our mind gradually!!

The Christian life is like a running race. After we relieved from sin and born again, we come to the starting point of this running race and have the halt. Then this race starts and keep on running for the rest of our life. We are running... running... still we are running! Thus, every day we are getting closer and closer to the end of the boundary line to complete the race! But, we must never stop our flow!

This is the best life that we need to live on this Earth! Because, through this, we are getting purified gradually from the bad parts of our life... As the years go by, we will get transformation more and more like God!!

Prayer:

Our Loving Heavenly Father! Thank You for changing our body as Your home! Give us the grace to let your home grow in holiness day by day! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
