YOU YOURSELVES ARE GOD’S TEMPLE / 1 CORINTHIANS 3:16

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 Corinthians 3:16

 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

YOU YOURSELVES ARE GOD’S TEMPLE / 1 CORINTHIANS 3:16

The emphasis here is on the entire church congregation, or local community of Christians. The Bible also refers to individual Christians (their bodies) as temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19); but here the reference is to the entire church body as the dwelling place of the Spirit (1 Corinthians 3:9; 2 Corinthians 6:16; Ephesians 2:21). As God’s temple in the middle of a corrupt society, God’s people in Corinth were not to participate in the evil and ungodly practices so often embraced in that society. They were to reject all forms of ungodly and immoral belief and behaviors. God’s temple must be holy (1 Corinthians 3:17) – morally pure, spiritually whole, separated from evil and dedicated completely to God – because God is holy (1 Peter 1:14-16).
