(1 Cor 3:16-17 NIV) Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you? {17} If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him; for God's temple is sacred, and you are that temple.
We are God's temple – do we really realize what this means
God's
temple is sacred, and we are that temple – we, all of us are that Temple.
We who have the Holy Spirit living in us and through
us are a Priest of God, with the privilege of offering spiritual sacrifices
though our Lord, Jesus.
(1
Pet 2:9 NIV)
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a Holy nation, a people
belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of
darkness into his wonderful light.
We are to offer ourselves as a living sacrifice to
God.
(Rom 12:1-2 NIV)
Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your
bodies as living sacrifices, Holy and pleasing to God--this
is your spiritual act of worship. {2} Do not conform any longer to the pattern
of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will
be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect
will.
How do we do this is by following the commands,
teachings and example of our Lord, Jesus the Messiah. We are to be Holy as God is Holy.
I believe these are very encouraging verse for us
today.
Blessing
Stephen
