1st Corinthians 6:19&20 NIV
Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you bought at a price. Therefore, honor God in your body and Spirit which are God’s.
11/18/06-11/20/06
Since your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, then you are always within God’s temple and always in the holiest of holies in His presence. If we could truly take hold of this truth, any sin would be unthinkable and most particularly the sins that harm the body, the temple of the Holy Spirit. We are no longer our own, we belong to God. Jesus Christ has bought us with His own precious blood. Because of this, we should always honor and glorify God in everything we think, say, and do. We once were slaves to sin, but He bought us and made us His own. He came to live within us – transforming this simple flesh into a temple for His glory. He has made us His priests and we are ever in His presence. Therefore, everything we do can and should be done as service to our great God. Let us pray, “Father, help us to remember that we are Your temple, for You live in us. May we live every day in an awesome awareness of Your presence. Let everything we think, say, and do be to Your glory – worthy of our position in You and worthy of Your name. thank You for rescuing us from sin and death. For making us so entirely Yours by living in us and being with us forever. Thank You, Jesus, for Your blood on the cross that washes us clean. Lord, may we truly be dedicated to You by the power of Your Holy Spirit. Amen.
