This Lesson investigates the concept of the sanctification of our bodies, understanding them as both a divine gift and a responsibility. Drawing from key passages in the New Testament, we are reminded that our bodies are not mere vessels but instrumental in our spiritual journey and relationship with God. We will underscore the importance of moral purity, self-control, and aligning our physical desires with God’s values. Additionally, we explore Paul’s teachings in Romans about offering our bodies as living sacrifices, emphasizing a life characterized by love, service, and personal holiness. 

This lesson aims to equip you to:

1. Describe what the New Testament concept of “sanctification” means in relation to our physical bodies.
2. Interpret and apply Romans 12:1-2 in their biblical context.
3. Give a biblical basis for positions on issues such as homosexual practice, incest, extra-marital sex, and adultery.
