Think About Your Body As God Does
Read
For we are God’s masterpiece, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Ephesians 2:10
This verse says we are God’s masterpiece that he specifically created to live out the purposes that he has for us in life.
Remember that 1 Corinthians 6:20b commands Christians to glorify God in our bodies. One way you can glorify God in your body is to think about it according to the Bible instead of listening to what the world says about it. Do you think of your body as God’s masterpiece?
