Temple Of God

Temple Of God – Once we were a temple of the world, everything we did made us a product of the world. We treated our bodies as an instrument of sin, teaching our bodies to love the sinful pleasures of this life. When we give ourselves over to God, it includes our body, mind, spirit, and soul.  Just like our behaviors begin to change under the influence of the Spirit, our bodies undergo a spiritual transformation as well.  God not only wants us to become priests of Christ Jesus but for our bodies to become a temple of God. The Lord will remove all that is bad in us and make us into a temple that gives God praise. One this shines in the light and breaks through the darkness. We cannot fake our way through, we will be tested, and we will have to prove that we are truly a temple of God, ready to serve in the Kingdom of God. Through the storms, through the fire, if we endure, we will be a temple of God that cannot be broken, formed steadfast in the body of Christ Jesus. We must live as a temple of God for the remainder of our lives, never seeking darkness, and never leaving God’s presence. A temple that shines on a hill, for all to see.
