Does He Dwell in Your Temple?

“What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?” (I Corinthians 6:19).

With the Holy Spirit being a Person, He needs a place to live. What a God-given privilege we, as believers have, that God chose to live within our bodies.

I totally agree with this statement by R.A. Torrey, “I can think of no thought more humbling or more overwhelming than a person of Divine majesty and glory dwells in my heart and is ready to use even me.”

Are we taking good care of our “temple”? Is it fit for Him to live in? Have we turned control of it over to Him? The latter question may be hardest to answer if there are habits or attitudes we haven’t surrendered to Him. We’ve been set free from the bondage of sin. We now belong to Jesus who paid a very high price for our redemption. The Spirit of God desires to set up residence in your “temple”. Make it ready for Him so He will feel comfortable.
