WeвЂ™ve seen this phrase of question again and again. In verse fifteen Paul writes, вЂњDo you not knowвЂќ. The reason Paul telling us this is to warn us away from committing two kinds of sins namely the sins of sexual immorality which can bring that Union we have but holy spirit of Christ into Jeopardy weвЂ™re going to see this in three points. The big idea today is this,В The Holy Spirit joins us as one Spirit with Christ. What the Scripture teaches everywhere, and especially in the passage that weвЂ™re looking at today, is that just as there are physical consequences of certain sins there are also spiritual consequences of what we do with our body particularly in the area of human sexuality. What we do with our bodies can be a matter of life and death, but not just in those health instances. An organ donor has to be a precise genetic match, or the body is going to reject the organ transplants and youвЂ™re going to be in a worse position than when you started. ItвЂ™s not just blood type, think about something serious like an organ donation. If you are O positive and O Negative please consider giving blood because while IвЂ™m a universal donor for those with every type except O negative, I can only receive type O if I had a very bad accident.

Again, you canвЂ™t add the wrong colors the wrong blood type. Now what we do with our bodies, I learned from this can be a matter of life and death.

There was exhibited to me all of the differences of the various blood types. With the purple you can add both red and blue as well as that clear to it and course if you add the purple to it. The blue has to say blue, you canвЂ™t add red, but you can add clear. You canвЂ™t have any of the colors change the red has to stay red, but you can add clear that wonвЂ™t change it. In fact, the person can die from that, so you have to keep the clear blood, the O blood, clear. So, the point of the exercise was to make sure you donвЂ™t change the color of the different kinds of blood, because if you add the wrong kind of blood into a person and it changes the color that can be very serious. Type B blood was represented by blue color in the water. The type A blood was represented by red color in the water. So, the type O blood was represented without any color, just totally clear water. She poured, not different vials of blood thankfully because we were 7th graders and that would have been horrifying, of water and then added color. I mean I was vaguely aware that there was a type A and B and AB and O, but I didnвЂ™t really understand which ones you could give in to the others and which ones you werenвЂ™t allowed to do that and all the problems that would cause. CarnвЂ™s classroom, one day she explained the way that different blood types worked. However, I remember in 7th grade, in Mrs. Science was just nothing that ever clicked with me. As I tell people, I avoided all the science that I was allowed to whenever I went to school. When I was in Middle School, I had what was one of the really only memorable science class lessons that has stuck with me to this day. So, glorify God in your body.вЂќ,В 1 Corinthians 6:12-20, ESV 19 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, 20 for you were bought with a price. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. 15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never! 16 Or do you not know that he who is joined to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written, вЂњThe two will become one flesh.вЂќ 17 But he who is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with him. 14 And God raised the Lord and will also raise us up by his power. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. 13 вЂњFood is meant for the stomach and the stomach for foodвЂќ-and God will destroy both one and the other.

вЂњAll things are lawful for me,вЂќ but I will not be dominated by anything. вЂњ12 вЂњAll things are lawful for me,вЂќ but not all things are helpful.

We are one spirit
