your temple

1 Chronicles 29:1 ..... for the temple is not for man, but for the LORD God
Where is the temple now ? Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body. (1 Cor 6:18-20)
Do we really believe this ? Especially the part that says ‘we are not our own’ !
Once we have been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb, we are not our own anymore. We have been bought with a price - a very high price. We have been called out of ‘ourselves’ to glorify God - to live as Christ.
So what have you been doing with your temple ?
So easily we get caught up with the things of this world that we don’t even remember why we were redeemed ! Is our focus on glorifying our Lord ? Or is it on our own life ? If it is on our own life then we are not being obedient to the Lord’s call on our life - we are not fulfilling our place as a bond servant of the Lord - we are nullifying the price that was paid for our redemption...... and our temple is for man and not for the LORD God !
