<p>We must bear in mind that we are the temple of the Holy Spirit.</p><p>The Apostle Paul repeatedly states that we are the temple where the Holy Spirit dwells, the temple of God where the Spirit of God resides, the house of God where God dwells, and the field of God where God works.</p><p> </p><p>As descendants of fallen Adam, we have died in sin and transgression and have become flesh from which the Spirit of God has departed.

Hallelujah!</p><p>Jesus, the Word, came to this earth in the flesh, was crucified and died for our sins, and rose again from the dead on the third day; through this, He destroyed the devil, who holds the power of death, transferred us into Christ, and sustains us. Hallelujah!</p><p>He ascended to heaven, seated us at the right hand of God, and sent the promised Holy Spirit within us. Hallelujah!</p><p> </p><p>This Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth. The Spirit of truth teaches that the Lord Christ, the Son of God, whom He has seated on the throne, has come within us through the Spirit of truth.</p><p>We know that Christ the Son is in us, we are in Christ the Son, and Christ the Son is in the Father. Hallelujah!</p><p> </p><p>Because the Spirit of God is in us, we are not in the flesh but in the spirit. Because the Spirit of Christ is in us, we are people of Christ.

첫댓글"Approaching the throne of grace to receive God’s mercy and find help is an actual reality." Amen. Every time I come before God in prayer, I experience that His mercies are new every morning. Rather than what the world offers, my heart is filled with the abundant grace of life that only God can provide. It is through this divine strength that I am able to pour out my 'balance of love' to others.
