God's Temple

Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you? (1 Corinthians 3:16 NET)

This is one of the things about Christianity that separates itself from all the other religions in the world. Our God is a living god, He is not dead. All the other religions serve a dead god. What makes this even more extraordinary is that not only is our God a living god, but His Spirit is living in us! Yes, when we became Christians, the Spirit of the living God CHOSE to live inside of us! Think about it, the Creator of the universe and everything in it, the stars, the moons, our earth, the trees, the mountains, the lakes and river, and us humans...He is living inside of us! Wow! If we really grasped a hold of this truth, then we would really think about how we conduct ourselves. Would we be watching on TV or the movies the same shows we are watching now? Would we be speaking to each other the same way we are speaking now? Would we be behaving like we are behaving now? This is a challenge to each person, myself included. 

Take Away: The next time you look in the mirror, look at yourself knowing that the Spirit of God is living on the inside of you and ask yourself, "where (not if) do I need to make changes in my life that glorifies the Spirit of God inside of me?"
