Manage Your Body Well

Scripture Reading — Romans 12:1-21

Your body ! It is created by God!

Romans 12:4-5 – “For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.

YOUR body is a gift from God that can then be connected to Body of Jesus Christ, as His Spirit dwells within you and all true believers.

1 Timothy 4:8 — For training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.

Many people have a wrong vision for their body, and it leads them into destruction.

But Paul gives us a vision of using our physical body to be a blessed part of the body of Christ and advises that then we:

  • Use whatever gifts you have, special abilities, to help serve God and people.
  • Hate what is evil
  • Cling to what is good
  • Be devoted to each other in love
  • Honor one another above yourselves
  • Keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord

 

  • Be joyful in hope
  • Be patient in affliction
  • Be faithful in Prayer
  • Share with other Christians in need
  • Be hospitable
  • Bless those who persecute you

 

  • Don’t curse those who persecute you.
  • Rejoice with those who rejoice
  • Mourn with those who mourn
  • Live in harmony with one another
  • Don’t be proud.
  • Don’t be conceited

 

  • Don’t repay anyone evil for evil
  • Do what is right
  • Live at peace with everyone as far as it depends on you
  • Don’t take revenge.
  • Do good to your enemies
  • Overcome evil with good

But the only chance we have of being able to live that out is if we REALLY WANT IT, which means we need to answer honestly these two questions:

  • What is your VISION for Body?
  • What is your VISION for your role in Body?

Romans 12:6 – “We have different , according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy….  [As you manage your body, identify and use your that God has given you!]

Romans 12:1 – “offer your bodies as a living , holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.

 

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:

  • What are you happy with and not happy with in terms of your management of your body?
  • What is your vision for your life in your physical body – how are you going to manage it?
  • What gifts, abilities, and/or callings has God given you for your life as a part of His family and a part of the “Body of Jesus”?
  • What’s your vision for your role in THE Body, of Jesus, in the next few months?
