BODY (2)

(Message by Tanny Keng)

1. Bible Topic

a) To learn what the Bible has to say on a variety of topics affecting our everyday lives, we may find what we are looking for here.

2. Body
a) Our bodies are part of our service and worship to God. It's in the Bible, Romans 12:1, NKJV. "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service"

b) We honor God by taking care of our bodies - what you put in it matters. It's in the Bible, 1 Corinthians 10:31, NKJV. "Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God."

c) God did not intend for tattoos or mutilating your body. It's in the Bible, Leviticus 19:28, NKJV. "You Shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks on you: I am the Lord."

d) Cutting oneself was a pagan religious custom. It's in the Bible, 1 Kings 18:28, NKJV. "So they cried aloud, and cut themselves, as was their custom, with knives and lances, until the blood gushed out on them."

e) Christ presented himself as a sacrifice without blemish. It's in the Bible, Hebrews 9:14, NKJV. "How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?"
