Who are you from God's perspective? #22




This mornings view of how God sees us should make us think very seriously about our relationship with God and what honors He bestows upon us. Check this verse out:



1 Corinthians 3:16



16 Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?



Don't miss this! When you receive Jesus as Lord and Savior of your life yo become a temple in which the Holy Spirit dwells. Whew! Think about that for a moment. The Holy Spirit is God, and God is dwelling inside you. How are you using that temple? How are you taking care of that temple? Is that temple doing anything that is unworthy of God! Are you allowing anything into that temple that God does not want in there by way of eyes, ears, and mind that is under your control? Much to think about here isn't it?



Some more verses on this temple:



1 Corinthians 3:17



If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.



1 Corinthians 6:19



Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?



2 Corinthians 6:16



And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people.”



This temple that we are is something we better take very seriously!



In the 1 Corinthians 6:19 verse we must remember that once we are followers of Christ we belong to Jesus not ourselves! Are you living like you belong to Jesus? Something each of us needs to ask ourselves!So this morning we see God sees us as His temple! Live like His temple!
