How do we know that our bodies belong to Christ?

Answered in 1 source

We know our bodies belong to Christ because we have been redeemed and bought with His blood.

The belief that our bodies belong to Christ is anchored in the redemptive work of Jesus as articulated in 1 Corinthians 6:20, which states, 'For you were bought with a price.' This price was the sacrificial death of Christ, who bore our sins so that we might be reconciled to God. This doctrine reinforces the sovereign grace perspective that sees our redemption as entirely initiated and completed by Christ’s work, leaving no room for individual merit.

Moreover, in the act of salvation, believers are united with Christ in such a way that their bodies are not only occupied by the Holy Spirit but are also identified with Christ’s body (1 Corinthians 6:15). This divine union signifies that how we treat our bodies is of utmost importance. They are instruments for righteousness and vessels for the glory of God, highlighting the serious implications of our lifestyle choices as representatives of Christ in the world.
