This Sunday school lesson centers on first Corinthians 6 19 20, Genesis 1 27 31, and Matthew 9 35, explaining that humans are created in God s image though God has no form, and that the body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. It urges believers to glorify God by honoring and caring for their bodies, pursuing holiness, and rejecting defilement in flesh and spirit. It cites Paul s teaching that believers are not their own but bought with a price, and calls for ongoing moral perfection inspired by reverent fear and love of God.
