“Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God. You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).”
Truth: You are a temple — a dwelling place — of God. His Spirit and His life dwell in you (taken from Victory Over Darkness by Neil T. Anderson).
We have been talking about our value for the past week of Lent and learning to take our thoughts captive so to replace negative thoughts about ourselves with God’s truth. Here is a mind-boggling truth — the very person of God lives within you!
In the Old Testament, the temple was the place where the people of God came to worship, to meet with God; it was the dwelling place of God. Today, the people of God, are that temple. God dwells in you! That is of ultimate value; thus, you are of ultimate value.
