  ·Title: Unveiling the mystery: I am a spirit living in a body.

Texts: 1Corintians 6:19-20, 2Corintians 5:1-10

Introduction:

As believers, we often forget our true identity.

We focus on our physical bodies,

Neglecting reality

That we are spirits living in our bodies.

Today let us uncover this mystery.

The spirit

- Our spirits are essence of who we are (proverbs 20:27)

- It is the part of us who connect with God ( John 4:24)

- Our spirits are eternal, immortal, and imperishable

( 2Corintians 5:1-5)

The body

Our body is a temple, a dwelling place for our spirits

(1 Corinthians 6:19-20)

- It is a temporary, earthly home ( 2 Corinthians 5:6-8)

- Our bodies will one day be transformed, glorified

( Phillipians 3: 20-21).

Relationship

- Our spirits and body are connected but distinct ( Matthew 10:28).

- We must care for body, but prioritize our spirits

(1 Corinthians 9:27)

- Our spirit must dominant our body not vise versa (Romans 8:5-6)

Conclusion

Remember, you're a spirit living in a body.

Don't allow your physical circumustances define you.

You're eternal, immortal, and imperishable.

Live from your spirit, let God's presence transform your life.

God is calling you to reflect on your identity as a spirit in a body.

He is calling you to prioritize nurturing your spirit through prayer, worship, and God's word.

He is calling you to share this truth with someone else, and encourage them to live from their spirit.

God bless you my wonderful family in Christ.

The more we keep our nose in our Bibles, the more we discover who we're in Christ.
