Relationship
1 Corinthians 6:19-20
New English Translation
19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you,
Whom you have from God, and you are not your own? 20 For you were bought at a price.
Therefore glorify God with your body.
Relationship
My body is related to my wandering spirit and soul
Primarily my relationship with Christ is spirit to spirit
We cannot leave the others out as together follow Jesus
Even if we‘re strangely divided in this unusual marriage
If the body is dead because of sin that does not mean it’s buried
If my soul is wayward that does not mean it is gone
If my spirit is alive it will just show the difference
For it takes all three you know for the job to get done
Never forget my friend that my fleshy frame so-called
Is an earthy vessel that’s continuously molded and reformed?
Submissive for His being here will help us even tame the tongue
And will keep us from falling more as He forms us in Christ’s essence
Jan Wienen
