The temple

WORDs of Saving Grace - the temple

1 Corinthians 6:19-20

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.

What an amazing price that the Lord God paid for our souls. But not only the soul, but the body that holds our soul temporarily (2 Corinthians 5:1).

Just as idle hands allow a house to fall apart, so this temple requires a diligence of the Spirit to sustain a proper dwelling place (Ecclesiastes 10:18).

But it is His unction by the Holy One who keeps this temple clean and acceptable for His indwelling (1 John 2:20).

This same glorious power that raised Jesus from the grave keeps this body alive (Galatians 2:20) and will raise us from the grave.

Romans 8:11

But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
