Bible Answer:
If you are a Christian, and it seems
that you are....then the Apostle Paul reminds you ....
Colossians 2:12 NLT
For you were buried with Christ when
you were baptized. And with Him you were raised to new life
because you trusted the mighty power of God, who raised Christ from
the dead.
I Corinthians 6:19,20 KJV
19 What? know ye not that your body is
the temple of The Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of
God, and ye are not your own?
20 For ye are bought with a price:
therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which
are God's.
A Christian is God's temple, a temple
for His Holy Spirit.
If a Christian, you are that temple.
I Corinthians 10:31 KJV
Whether therefore ye eat, or drink,
or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.
The music you
enjoy, does it “glorify God?
Philippians 4:8 KJV
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things
are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are
just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are
lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there
be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on
these things.
Is your music:
Honest, just, pure,
lovely (In the sight of God), of a good report, full of virtue, full
of praise (to God)?
Then think of these
things.
Psalm 19:14 KJV
Let the words of my mouth,
and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O
Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.
If the Lord Jesus
was in your room with you, could you play your music, in worship to
Him?
Psalm 40:3 KJV
And He hath put a new song in my
mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and
fear, and shall trust in the Lord.
Does your choice of
music, bring praise and honor to God?
II Corinthians
6:14-18 NLT
14 Don’t team up with those who
are unbelievers. How can righteousness be a partner with wickedness?
How can light live with darkness?
15 What harmony can there be between
Christ and the devil? How can a believer be a partner with an
unbeliever?
16 And what union can there be
between God’s temple and idols? For we are the temple of the living
God. As God said: “I will live in them and walk among them. I will
be their God, and they will be My people.
17 Therefore, come out from among
unbelievers, and separate yourselves from them, says the Lord. Don’t
touch their filthy things, and I will welcome you.
18 And I will be your Father, and
you will be My sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.”
Ephesians
5:18-20 KJV
18 "...be
filled with The Spirit;
19 Speaking to
yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,
singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
20 Giving thanks
always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord
Jesus Christ;
May this not only
be your guide in music, but in everything you do in life.
Philippians
3:7-11 NLT
7 I once thought these things were
valuable, but now I consider them worthless because of what Christ
has done.
8 Yes, everything else is worthless
when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my
Lord. For His sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all
as garbage, so that I could gain Christ
9 and become one with Him. I no
longer count on my own righteousness through obeying the law; rather,
I become righteous through faith in Christ. For God’s way of making
us right with Himself depends on faith.
10 I want to know Christ and
experience the mighty power that raised Him from the dead. I want to
suffer with Him, sharing in His death,
11 so that one way or another I will
experience the resurrection from the dead!
