The Temple of God
Good morning; help me thank God for another morning of His grace and mercy! In the Old Testament, God had a Temple of His people; in the New Testament, God has a people for His Temple. “Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, and ye are not your own” (1 Cor. 6:19)? Whatever we say, or whatever we do as a person, the Holy Ghost of God is saying and doing it with us. Within your physical body is the power of the Holy Ghost, power over the world, power over whatever our current circumstances are, and power to rejoice in the Lord. When we engage in any activity, we must know our body is the Temple of God. “For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s” (v.20). If you are a Christian this morning, if God has received the payment for your sins, you have been purchased from the marketplace of sin. Jesus, THE perfect Lamb of God, was sacrificed on Calvary’s hill; his blood was offered for a sacrifice for many. My friend, every BORN AGAIN believer has been BOUGHT back from sin by the Blood of Jesus! The penalty of sin had to be paid, your sin, and my sin had to be paid for to enter into the presence of God. And, Jesus was the perfect sacrifice without spot or blemish, and all who receive this sacrifice, the payment for your sins have been purchased, and you are not your own. My Christian friend, walk like you are owned by Jesus, have the confidence that your sins are forgiven. You belong to the KING of KINGS. Father, I thank you for your Son who died for my sins and has purchased my soul back from the pits of hell. Thank you that I am His, and He is mine! Be Blessed in Jesus’ Name!
