You cannot have it both ways: You cannot enjoy the benefits of belonging to Christ and his body while enjoying the “benefits” of idolatry.
Living in a way that wins others to Christ and earns an eternal reward requires considerable effort at self-control.
Bloom where you are planted: You must learn to serve the Lord and be content in whatever circumstances He has assigned to you.
Your spiritual life cannot be separated from your material body. Rather than being spiritually irrelevant, the body is the sphere of worship—a place for God’s presence to be revealed.
Faithful service to Christ is measured by the cross instead of the prideful standards of the world.
