Your body is your house and not you

Your body is your house and not you

 

          We need to understand that our body is not the real man, the real man is on the inside, Paul describes him as the inward man ( 2 Corith 4:16).

          Sometimes we tend to give too much attention to our body instead of the spirit man. 2 corith 5:1-2.

1.     for we know if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, and house not made with hands eternal in the heavens .

2.     for in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven;

2 corith 4:16 says

For which cause we faint not: but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

 Understanding this subject will help you to know how to deal with a lot of problems Christians face. Quite a lot of problems Christian says is the devil or demon is actually a flesh problem. Satan works through the flesh to dominate you – thus you need to always put your body in check. The bible says to put to death the deeds of the body ( col 3:5)

          Spend more time to build yourself ( spirit man ) because you are  a spirit, you have a soul and lives in a body (1 thes 5:23)
