'Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?'
(1 Corinthians 3:16).
Jesus died for all people of the earth; from every nation, kindred and tongue, that we might be save for eternity. But it is only those, who by grace through faith that believe on Him and are born again that will be saved.
As believers, God's Spirit lives in each individual and collectively we are considered the temple of the living God. You may ask,"How can a frail human being body be the temple of God? It is only as we trust in Jesus as our Saviour from sin, and have God's Holy Spirit resides in us, that we can become God's temple. It is a hugh responsibility and a wonderful privilege bestowed upon us by God himself, to be His spiritual temple. Together as believers we are the temple of God which his Spirit dwells in. We must seek to abide in the power and strength of Jesus Christ, and not our own strength. Submitting our will to the Holy Spirit as we die daily to self and live our lives in Christ. It is God who will and do good works in us. We must remember, that wherever God temple is, Christ promised to always be with us. Where two or three are gathered together in His name, he promised to be in the midst. What a great privilege we have! Just as the physical temple in Jerusalem was the special residence of God, devoted to His service and was sacred; so we must see ourselves as holy, consecrated for his service and being one body in Christ - the church. The church has only one foundation, which is Jesus Christ our Lord and we together make up the church of the living God. The whole body of believers in which the Holy Spirit dwells - "The living stones, of which Christ is our High Priest. Let us open our hearts and allow the Holy Spirit to dwell in us; to convict us of our sins and to lead us unto the path of righteousness. Let the Holy Spirit be ruler of your life and dwell on the things He placed in your mind, as he draws you closer to God and prepares you to meet the bridegroom - Christ our King.
Have a wonderful day 🌹🌹
'But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you' (Matthew 6:33). The Lord is our Provider and knows all that we are in need of before we even ask. We do not need to worry or fret ourselves about what we shall eat or drink. Our Father in heaven will take care of these things we need. We are told by Jesus, 'To seek first the kingdom of God.' What does that mean? It means we should lean on, and trust in the grace of Jesus Christ. We should repent of our sins and have a desire to turn away from it. We should seek to put God first in our praise to Him, in our worship of Him, to put our total trust in Him and to rely on Him rather than ourselves or others. We need to seek Him first in our reassurance and acknowledging who He is and what He can do. We also need to seek God's righteousness by loving our neighbors and feeding the poor and destitute, seek justice for the vulnerable. We should put God's plan and
