(1 Corinthians 6:19) Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit.

This Bible verse is absolutely amazing!

Through the Old Testament, the presence of God dwelled in the tabernacle and the Jerusalem temple. However, now the Spirit of God dwells in our bodies.

Jesus tells us in John 14:16–17, I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to help you and be with you forever—the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept Him, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. But you know Him, for He lives with you and will be in you.

1 Corinthians 3:16 says, Don’t you know that you are God’s temple?

The dynamic presence of God now lives in us!

God created our bodies with the purpose of dwelling within our inner lives. In Genesis 2:7, He formed our bodies and then breathed life into us.

Our bodies were created by God so that the Holy Spirit can live within us, rest upon us, and flow through us.

With this understanding, we must open our hearts and allow the Holy Spirit to fully dwell within us.

From now on, although our bodies are growing older, the Holy Spirit is renewing our inner lives. As 2 Corinthians 4:16 tells us, Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.

From now on, let’s view our bodies as the temple in which God lives.

This perspective will transform your Christian life!
