I’ve been to a number of countries and when I look at the various passports in these countries they always say it is the property of the country that issued it. Their citizens may use the passport, but it belongs to the government who may recall it at any time. Check your passport, it say the same thing.
Our human bodies are our passport to life in the physical. Our bodies do not belong to us. They belong to the government of the kingdom of God who may recall it at any time.
So, when you justify things done in the body by saying ‘after all it is my body’ know that you are wrong “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” – 1 Corinthians 6:19.
