God created your body. It belongs to Him. However, He also gave you free will. That means you decide if you are going to be obedient or not. If you are a Christian, then you said you would follow Jesus no matter what. That means your body is to be obedient to God's Word.
If you are a Christian, then the Holy Spirit lives in your body with your soul like a marriage. Do you want to make the home of the Holy Spirit a hostile environment? Do you really want to treat Him like the enemy? Do not disrespect your own body by ignoring what has been given to you.
Your body is a temple of worship to God. It is where the Holy Spirit lives to guide you in life. God has given you your body, but it was paid with a high price. Honor your body to honor God. God owns your body and He will be giving you the replacement body to live in for eternity. Be thankful and keep your mortal body holy and pure.
You do have an eternal body. The day you face God is when you will get this new body that will not age or deteriorate. It will be a Heavenly body transformed and clothed anew. You get this new body so you can live eternally with God as a citizen of Heaven. Your new body will be even more glorious than your mortal body because you will be more like Jesus.
Your eternal body will reflect God's glory. The body you have now can only reflect a fraction of God's glory because this world is so tainted by sin. However, your mortal body is still God's temple that shines light in this dark world. If you are a Christian, then your body should be dedicated to God.
Matthew 17:1-3, 1 Corinthians 6:18-20, 15:1-9, 2 Corinthians 5:1-5, Philippians 3:17-21, & 1 John 3:2
