Belonging

Gen 2:18  And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a help meet for him.

God created man with the desire to have relationships. We all long to be connected and belonged. It is not good for people to live in isolation in a world of being alone. As a body of Christ, we need each other. We need the personal relationship with Christ and the fellowship of other believers. Even tho we sometimes walk in the valley of loneliness, He has promised to be there with us. It is not God’s plan that we go through life alone, fellowship and belonging are critical to our social and spiritual well being. There are some things in life that we must bare alone with Christ, but we should never forsake the fellowship of others and walk alone.

We Belong to God.

1 Corinth 6:19- What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

The mantra on the pro choice movement is that no one should be able to make the choice to have a baby except for them, for it is their body, therefore they have the right to decide whether the baby inside their womb will die or live. What! do they not know that their bodies is the temple created for the dwelling place God. That the body we have is not are own, but was created by God and belongs to Him. For those who are in Christ, God in flesh came to this world and paid the price to purchase and pay the debt for sin. He bought us and owns us as His own. We no longer can claim that we can do what we want with our bodies, for we have become one in Christ and the things we do with our body must follow the commands and principles of God’s word. That is why the taking of our own lives is wrong, that is why we don’t ingest substance that can kill the body, and that is why abortion is wrong. The taking the life of an unborn child is morally wrong if the word of God is given any consideration as our moral compass. Life is precious with God, even the life within the womb.
