“Don’t you realize that together you have become God’s inner sanctuary and that the Spirit of God makes his permanent home in you? Now, if someone desecrates God’s inner sanctuary, God will desecrate him, for God’s inner sanctuary is holy, and that is exactly who you are.”1 Corinthians 3:16-17 TPT
These two verse come after a teaching on building our lives with precious things from God; it is followed by Paul’s teaching on true wisdom. Therefore, we must take heed how we build our lives.
If we are a part of God’s holy temple, in which He lives, then e would do well to study the instructions God gave Moses on building the tent to house His presence in the wilderness. This will display God’s holiness and His expectation in the building (Exodus 25-31).
God empowered one particular man, Bezalel, in design and craftsmanship for all the intricate work. The detail of the work was exact.God said, ‘ I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom and ability, in understanding and intelligence, and knowledge, and in all kinds of craftsmanship’ (Ex 31:2,3).
Paul tells the Ephesians:
“We have become his poetry, a re-created people that will fulfill the destiny he has given each of us, for we are joined to Jesus, the Anointed One. Even before we were born, God planned in advance our destiny and the good works we would do to fulfill it!”
Ephesians 2:10 TPT
We must not come to God in a flippant way, but rather with respect and honour for what He will do in us. He has a master plan, He is the builder, the author and finisher. Amen!
