1 Corinthians 6:19-20
"Don’t you know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and who was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourselves but to God; he bought you for a price. So use your bodies for God’s glory."

As the Holy Spirit resides in us, we are to honor God with our bodies as they “are not our own". We have indeed been bought with a price. And it was not gold or silver or other perishable things by which we were redeemed; it was with the precious, unblemished blood of Jesus Christ (1 Peter 1:18-19). Ordained by God before the foundation of the world (Acts 2:23), Christ’s blood purchased us out of the slavery of sin and set us free forever. And as Christian’s bodies are God’s temple, we are to use them to glorify God. This has to do with everything your body has to do with—food, sex, sleep, talking, smiling, frowning, laughing, playing and working.

Jesus Christ is the Father's full and sufficient price for sinners. If you receive him, then from this day forward every time your conscience dredges up the sin of the past and says, "You will pay!" you will be able to say, "God has already paid. I have been bought with a price. I will glorify God with my body."
