Living Temple of God

1 Corinthians 3:16  Do you not know that you are a temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?  17  If anyone defiles the temple of God, God shall destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which you are.

1 Corinthians 6:19  Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit in you, whom you have of God? And you are not your own,

2 Corinthians 6:16  And what agreement does a temple of God have with idols? For you are the temple of the living God, as God has said, "I will dwell in them and walk among them; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people."

We are the temple of God, [a spiritual house] and it is our responsibility to offer spiritual sacrifices to God through Jesus Christ!

1 Peter 2:4-10  For having been drawn to Him, a living Stone, indeed rejected by men, but elect, precious with God;  5  you also

• as living stones

• are built up a spiritual house,

• a holy priesthood,

• to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 

6  Therefore also it is contained in the Scripture: "Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner Stone, elect, precious, and he who believes on Him shall never be ashamed."  7  Therefore to you who believe is the honor. But to those who are disobedient, He is the Stone which the builders rejected; this One came to be the Head of the corner,  8  and a Stone-of-stumbling and a Rock-of-offense to those disobeying, who stumble at the Word, to which they also were appointed.  9  But you are

• a chosen generation,

• a royal priesthood,

• a holy nation,

• a people for possession,

so that you might speak of the praises of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;  10  you who then were not a people, but now the people of God, those not pitied then, but now pitied.
