Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple. 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 NIV
Why is it so hard to believe that we as Christians are God’s temple? Does God wish his temple to be a man-made building, or the core of our being? Does God seek an intimate relationship with that which man has created or with His own creation? God created man in His image, not constructed buildings. Also, we collectively are the body of Christ, His temple. So, God’s desire is an intimate relationship with each of us, living inside of us, taking care of our needs. We must allow God to reside within us. We must live our lives abiding in Christ. Now, if we are God’s temple, then we must not defile the temple of God. We are made holy through the indwelling Holy Spirit. We must truly believe that we are God’s temple. We must pray that the Spirit direct us to treat God’s temple as it ought to be.
