God's temple

1 June 2011

1 Corinthians 3:17 If any one destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For God's temple is holy, and that temple you are.

You are the temple of God and you are holy, beautiful and filled with His glory and love. You are not of this world but have been made in the image of the Lover of your soul who wants to be with you for all eternity. You are the only part of all creation which is made in the image of the Creator, and because of that you are holy, because He is holy. Although we have been born into this world we are not of this world because our journey ends at the beginning of all eternity. So every life that is born of woman returns to God, no one that is born will not return to God.

When we return to God, we return tainted with the experiences of life in a sinful world, hurt by wickedness, hatred, despair, regret, but at the same time of having loved, lived and experienced peace, joy and family. We have been given so much to enjoy and experience yet we need to remind ourselves that the purpose is to learn to know our Creator and to enjoy Him. When we do we recognise that we are His and He who created us dwells in us, making us His temple.

Be encouraged today to be God’s temple.

David
