Gospel Life: Do You Not Know? - Gospel Life

In a world that tells us, “You are your own,” the apostle Paul writes something radically countercultural: “You are not your own—you were bought at a price.” In this message from 1 Corinthians 6:12–20, we explore what it means to belong—body and soul—to Jesus Christ. As Paul responds to troubling behavior in the Corinthian church, he doesn’t just offer moral correction—he unveils a beautiful, eternal truth: our bodies matter to God. This sermon unpacks Paul’s piercing question—“Do you not know?”—and reveals four foundational truths: 1. What you do with your body matters 2. Your body is united to Christ 3. Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit 4. You are not your own Far from being a list of restrictions, this is a glorious invitation to freedom, holiness, and hope. Whether you’re wrestling with sexual sin, cultural confusion, or identity questions—this text offers clarity and compassion through the gospel.
