THE TEMPLE OF GOD

“DON’T YOU REALIZE THAT ALL OF YOU TOGETHER ARE THE TEMPLE OF GOD AND THAT THE SPIRIT OF GOD LIVES IN YOU? GOD WILL DESTROY ANYONE WHO DESTROYS THIS TEMPLE. FOR GOD’S TEMPLE IS HOLY, AND YOU ARE THAT TEMPLE.” 1 CORINTHIANS 3:16-17

We are the temple of God. We have accepted Christ as our Lord and Savior and have accepted the gift of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit provides us with protection, wisdom, understanding and guidance in our daily lives. We are able to worship our God everyday no matter where we are. We are able to praise him and trust his ways in whatever we are doing and wherever we are. We don’t have to wait until Sunday to do these things, but we should worship him every day. We should build ourselves up each day and become stronger in our faith so that when we get to church on Sunday and come together with those who worship as we do, we are not down in the spirit but instead strong in the spirit. We should not use are churches as gas stations where we go to fill up for the next week, but instead use that time to truly worship in truth and in Spirit. We should stay strong all week and be ready to go to God on Sunday in unison as one voice in worship and prayer. Each of us are the temple of God. We should live our lives as such. We are important to our God in heaven, and he wants us to be close to him at all times. Because we are his temple we are protected and full of wisdom and praise. We should live our lives each day as though we are in church. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
