圣殿不容荒废:你的身体,是神的居所

日期:15/4/25

主题经文:

“那召你们的既是圣洁,你们在一切所行的事上也要圣洁。”
——《彼得前书》1:15

“亲爱的弟兄啊,你们是客旅,是寄居的,我劝你们要禁戒肉体的私欲,这私欲是与灵魂争战的。”
——《彼得前书》2:11

一、你的身体,是神手中预备的圣殿,不是废弃的工地

当彼得说“你们在一切所行的事上也要圣洁”(彼前1:15),他不是在呼吁表面的行为改变,而是在唤醒我们——你每一个细胞、每一寸肌肤、每一口呼吸,都是为荣耀神而存在。

我们不是拥有身体的人,我们就是这个被神呼召的身体。

你吃什么,你如何休息,你如何使用你的眼睛、手、脚——这些都是属灵的行为。不是等到你讲道、祷告才算属灵,你照顾身体的方式,就显明你是否尊重那创造你的神。

二、身体是属灵争战的前线,而不是舒适的游乐场

“私欲与灵魂争战。”(彼前2:11)

这不是比喻,这是战场。

你有没有发现,有时候你最软弱、最容易妥协的地方,就是你最忽略的地方? 贪食、懒惰、色欲、自怨自艾、自我放弃——不是“习惯”,而是灵界中的破口。敌人不怕你祷告一小时,却希望你继续糟蹋身体、沉迷软弱,因为那会使你在战场上瘫倒。

圣洁的生活,不是压抑自己,而是释放你本该拥有的权柄与荣耀。

三、你是君尊的祭司,怎能容许自己的圣殿荒废?

“你们是被建造成属灵的殿,作圣洁的祭司。”(彼前2:5)

回想旧约中,祭司进入圣殿要经过严格洁净的程序,不能带污秽进入。今天,神不住在人手所造的殿,而住在你里面!

你是否用垃圾、懒惰、色情、暴饮暴食来玷污这座圣殿?

神在等一群人,对自己身体不再轻看,说出一个新的宣告:

“主啊,我愿成为你荣耀的器皿,连身体都为你而活。”

四、即使在受苦中,也要用身体成就属天的荣耀

“因为在肉身受过苦的,就已经与罪断绝了。”(彼前4:1)

有些人正经历病痛、疲惫、压力缠绕的身体状态。彼得要你知道——你的身体虽然受压,但可以因基督得着荣耀。

不是每个身体都健康,但每个身体都能成为见证。

即使破碎,也能流出膏油;即使瘸腿,也能踏出圣洁之路。

结语:震撼的呼声——让身体发出敬拜

你的身体不是负担,是使命;
不是羞耻,是荣耀;
不是为世界设计的模型,
而是为神分别为圣的器皿。

你是否愿意今天就开始,用身体回应神的呼召?

震撼宣告:

“我不再轻看我的身体,
因为祂为我流血,我也要为祂而活;
我不再沉沦在懒惰与欲望中,
我要让我的身体成为荣耀的圣殿,
让神的烈火,从我身上焚烧出去!”

The Temple Must Not Be Neglected: Your Body Is God’s Dwelling Place

Date: April 15, 2025
Key Scriptures:

“But just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do.”
— 1 Peter 1:15

“Dear friends, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from sinful desires, which wage war against your soul.”
— 1 Peter 2:11

  1. Your Body Is a Temple Prepared by God, Not a Forgotten Construction Site

When Peter said, “Be holy in all you do,” ( 1 Peter 1:15 ) he wasn’t calling for superficial behavioral change—he was awakening us to a deeper reality:

Every cell, every inch of your skin, every breath you take was designed to glorify God.

You don’t just have a body—you are the body that God has called.

What you eat, how you rest, how you use your eyes, hands, and feet—these are all spiritual acts.
Holiness isn’t limited to prayer and preaching. The way you care for your body reflects how much you honor the God who created it.

  1. The Body Is the Frontline of Spiritual Warfare, Not a Playground of Comfort

“Sinful desires… wage war against your soul.” ( 1 Peter 2:11)

This is not a metaphor. It is a battlefield.

Have you noticed that your greatest spiritual weaknesses often lie in the areas you neglect the most?
Gluttony, laziness, lust, self-pity, self-destruction—these are not “bad habits,” they are spiritual breaches.

The enemy doesn’t fear your one-hour prayer if he knows you’ll keep abusing your body and clinging to your weaknesses.
He wants you tired, distracted, and defeated in your flesh.

A holy life is not suppression—it is the unleashing of the authority and glory you were created to carry.

  1. You Are a Royal Priest—How Can You Allow Your Temple to Decay?

“You also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood.” — 1 Peter 2:5

In the Old Testament, priests had to be purified before entering the temple.
Today, God no longer dwells in temples made by human hands—He dwells in you.

Are you defiling this holy temple with junk, sloth, lust, or abuse?

God is calling for a generation who will no longer despise their bodies, but instead boldly declare:

“Lord, I want to be a vessel for Your glory—even my body is Yours.”

  1. Even in Suffering, Let Your Body Testify to Heavenly Glory

“Whoever suffers in the body is done with sin.” — 1 Peter 4:1

Some may be enduring pain, fatigue, or physical burdens right now.
Peter reminds us: Even a pressured body can bring glory to Christ.

Not every body is healthy,
But every body can be a testimony.

Even in brokenness, oil can flow.
Even with a limp, you can walk a holy path.

Conclusion: A Call to Worship With the Body

Your body is not a burden—it is a mission.
Not a shame—it is a glory.
Not a model designed by the world,
But a vessel set apart for God.

Will you start today?
Will you respond to God’s calling with your body?

Powerful Declaration:

“I will no longer despise my body,
For He shed His blood for me, and I will live for Him.
I will not sink into laziness and desire,
But let my body become a temple of glory,
And may God’s holy fire burn through me!”
