Day 118. How should you live as you await the resurrection of your body? (2024)

Today is day 118 and we are on the Third Article of the Apostles' Creed. Today we are on the seventeenth line: “The Resurrection of the Body”.

118. How should you live as you await the resurrection of your body?

Because I put my hope in God’s resurrection of my body, I should honor and care for it. I should refrain from any violence, disrespect, or sin that would harm, demean, or violate either my body or the bodies of others. (Psalm 35:9–10; Matthew 25:35–45; Romans 6:5–14; 1 Corinthians 6:9–20; 1 John 3:1–3)

We will conclude today with A Collect for Strength to Await Christ's Return found on page 22 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
