Grace for your spirit

Or what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; just as God said, "I will dwell in them and walk among them; and I will be their God and they shall be my people. II Corinthians 6:16

When Jesus walked this earth and saw His temple being defiled, He cleaned it out. There was no room for God’s Spirit, and the idols of this world in the same place. Jesus declared that we are now temples of the living God. His Holy Spirit is meant to dwell in us. Like the physical temple, there is no room for God and the idols of the world in our temple. When we are aware of that relationship with God’s Spirit, and we wish for Him to dwell with us, we must have a house cleaning each day. He wants to be our God and dwell among us. When we have that mutual goal, we really are the living temples of God.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit

Philippians 4:23
