Honor God with your body: shout out to 503strength.com

It's a simple yet sometimes difficult question to ask yourself: "do you honor God with your body?"

^{1 Corinthians 6:19} Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; ²⁰ you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.

I use to think that "living a Christian life" was all about drawing lines and boundaries and it was ok to get as close to the line of sin as possible without going over and actually doing something wrong. Thats why I always use to ask the question..."well where do you draw the line?" The question always came up in reference to bodily actions, mostly drinking alcohol and sexual purity. "What's too much?" "Is it really THAT bad?" and "Define drunk."
This all turned around when it was pointed out to me that what those questions really are asking is "How close can I get to sin without actually sinning, or sinning too bad." Looking at Paul's encouragement in Corinthians and thinking about the fact that God calls us to be holy as He is holy, the question to ask instead is "How holy, pure, and honoring to God can I be?" There are 2 things to realize about this: (1) you can't make yourself holy and pure through your own personal effort and (2)  in Christ we are holy, blameless, pure, without blemish and "honor God" is not a commandment to earn favor, but a response to the fact that we already have been bought and made new.
