"Haven't you yet learned that your body is the home of the Holy Spirit God gave you, and that He lives within you? Your own body does not belong to you" (1 Corinthians 6:19).
The Bible teaches that there is one God manifested in three persons - Father, Son and Holy Spirit - and that God lives within everyone who has received Christ.
One of the most important truths I have learned as a Christian is that this omnipotent, holy, righteous, loving, triune God - our heavenly Father, our risen Savior and Holy Spirit, Creator of heaven and earth - comes to dwell within sinful man at the moment he receives Christ! And, through Christ's blood, sinful man is made righteous at the moment of the new birth!
Meditate with me upon what this means. When you fully grasp that the God of love, grace, wisdom, power and majesty dwells within you waiting to release His matchless love and mighty power is absolutely awesome.
You are His temple, and if you invite Him to, He will actually walk around in your body, think with your mind, love with your heart, speak with your lips and continue to seek and save the lost, for whom He gave His life 2,000 years ago. Incredible! Incomprehensible to our finite minds, this truth is so clearly emphasized in the Word of God and demonstrated in the lives of all who trust and obey Him that there can be no doubt. If you have received Christ, God - Father, Son and Holy Spirit - now indwells you and your body has become His temple.
Today's Action Point
I will begin every day by acknowledging that my body is a temple of God. I will invite the Lord Jesus Christ to walk around in my body, think with my mind, love with my heart, speak with my lips and continue to seek and save the lost through me. I will invite the Holy Spirit to empower and enable me to live a holy, supernatural life and be a fruitful witness of God's love and grace - that my life will bring praise, honor, worship and glory to God the Father.
