God has made us wonderfully and we should praise and honor him with our physical bodies. We should not defile it for the sake of our fleshly desires. We must know that one day we will stand before his judgment.
The physical body that we obtained from the Lord must be used for his kingdom’s sake and we should keep ourselves holy as well in order to see God’s presence in our lives.
