So most Christians know that Jesus said that he would "destroy the temple and raise it up in three days." Now in many cases I go "oh yeah, I know that, been there, I know the story." But MAN, it's so hard to look into the fact that Jesus, God, whatever, DIED... and the came back to life! Uhg... I mean, I can't say this enough, it's such a crazy thought, I type this and just constantly go over it in my head.
So where does this leave us? I mean, it's obvious that Jesus did indeed rebuild the temple, but how does that apply to our lives? Well the bible says that our bodies are temples and that God dwells in us, so in everything we do, we are the house of God, so when we do something that hurts our bodies on purpose, it is like vandalizing God's temple.
I mean, how awesome is it that we, humans, sinful beings, have the opportunity to house God! Isn't God just awesome like that? Just constantly letting us have what we don't deserve... blessing us when we don't deserve or need it... man.. it is just insane!
In many cases, all my posts are linked and can be tied back to many different things. I honestly think that everything in the Bible can be tied to something else in the Bible, and most things stem from certain other things. I honestly feel that in this topic, the worst things that one could do to their body's is abuse alcohol, do drugs, or watch pornography.
I walk around and see people struggling every day, I see people who think "I am the only one" and that is so wrong! I know what its like guys, every day I wake up and every day all the time I am tempted, I have, am, and always will struggle with pornography, and you know what? God loves me, no matter what. It's not like I have to be ashamed or hide something about me that is just something that I have done. God looks at me with eyes of now, not of what I did in the past, I am not judged based on what I have done wrong yesterday, once I ask for that forgiveness... God is always welcoming me with arms wide open.
Romans 6 says "shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means!" This means that I can't go around sinning expecting God to forgive me. That is not what having a relationship with God about guys! It is so much more than that!
What I leave you with is, you don't struggle alone, God is there for you, he loves you, and when you are ready to turn to him, he will always be there for you. God won't be taken advantage of, but he does love you so very much... and there is nobody that can top his love.
