“YOUR BODY IS A TEMPLE.”

Posted on by

The marketplace in Kaitaia is in front of the Warehouse on Saturday.

Today I watched there a demonstration of the exercise equipment called HAMMER STRENGTH.

I read that the producer of that machine is LIFE FITNESS. What else did I read there? “Your body is a Temple.” And underneath it said: “Train accordingly.”IMG_0200

“Your body is a temple.” That is right! The BIBLE, the Word of the Living God teaches that our body is a temple.

We are God’s temple and God’s Spirit lives in us. First Corinthians 3:16

If we destroy God’s temple, God will destroy us. God’s temple is sacred. We are God’s temple. First Corinthians 3:17

Our body is a temple of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is in us. We have received the Holy Spirit from God. We are not our own. We were bought at a price. We must honor God with our body. First Corinthians 6:19

Summary:

1. We are God’s temple.

2. God’s temple is sacred.

3. God’s Spirit lives in us.

4. We have received the Spirit from God.

5. We are not our own.

6. We were bought at a price.

7. We must honor God with our body.

8. If we destroy God’s temple, God will destroy us.

TWO SINS

“My people have committed two sins:

— They have forgotten me,

the spring of living water, and

— have dug their own cisterns,

broken cisterns that cannot hold water.”

Who knows, where to find that verse in the Bible?

King JEHOSHAPHAT

“LORD, I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO, BUT MY EYES ARE UPON YOU!”

Five Jehoshaphats can be identified in the O.T. I am talking about the King of Judah. His father was Asa. The story of this Johoshaphat is found in Second Chronicles, chs. 17-20.

I like chapter twenty and let me quote a verse from this chapter 20: Second Chronicles 20:12. King Jehoshaphat says there: “We do not know what to do, but our eyes are upon you.”

You find also a Sermon Outline on chapter 20 on this blog.

Have you ever prayed to the Lord like Jehoshaphat prayed:

“Lord, I do not know what to do, but my eyes are upon you?”
