1Co 6:19 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?
1Co 6:20 For ye are
bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit,
which are God's.
The price we are
bought with? The life of the Son of God. There could be no greater price, not a
single one.
We are a piece of
broken clay worthless in the eyes of most, yet priceless in the eyes of God.
The worth our God places upon us makes us very valuable to Him.
Jesus said this--
Joh_16:7
Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for
if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will
send him unto you.
And we are told
this--
Act 2:4 And
they were all filled with the Holy Ghost
We get FILLED with
the Holy Spirit. Truly, we are filled,
our bodies are filled with the Holy Spirit.
God the Holy Spirit will dwell IN us! How amazingly special does this
make us?
1Jn 3:1
Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be
called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him
not.
1Jn 3:2
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall
be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall
see him as he is.
Rom_8:15 For
ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received
the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
Gal_4:6 And
because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your
hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
We BECOME the sons
of God. We are bought and made SONS of
God!
The Holy Spirit will
FILL us and this alone will sanctify us through our SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.
1Pe_1:15 But
as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of
conversation;
1Pe_1:16
Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy
The temple of God is
just a building without God's presence. What makes a place holy is God's
presence. Wherever God makes His presence known it is HOLY.
Act 7:31 When
Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight: and as he drew near to behold it, the
voice of the Lord came unto him,
Act 7:32
Saying, I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac,
and the God of Jacob. Then Moses trembled, and durst not behold.
Act 7:33 Then
said the Lord to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feet: for the place where thou
standest is holy ground.
When the Holy Spirit
fill us as Jesus promised, we are sanctified. Is there any doubt as to why we
are to regard ourselves as temples- not in the way of pride- but as in the way
of being blessed, humbled by such a blessing.
Please Lord, help us
to learn what it truly means to have our bodies the temple of the Holy Spirit.
More on this
tomorrow by the GRACE and WILL of our SAVIOR, our LORD JESUS CHRIST, now and
forever!
