We are a temple in which God lives

Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s. 1 CORINTHIANS 6:19,20, 

The Spirit of God lives in us. We literally are a temple in which God lives. We’re not our own. We were bought, and the price was the precious blood of Jesus Christ as a Lamb without blemish and without spot. Therefore, we have the obligation to use this Holy Spirit temple in such a way that brings honor to God. I had a friend who was visiting a great cathedral in New York City. When he came to a shrine to St. Joseph, there was a sign hanging around St. Joseph’s neck that read: Do not worship here. This shrine is out of order. My friend said to himself, “I wonder if there aren’t many days when that sign should be hanging around my neck. Don’t expect to see Christ here. This shrine is out of order.” Your body is that shrine. It is that temple to the Holy Spirit because He lives there. Sometimes I’m afraid He is obscured. Make sure your shrine is in order. Glorify God in your body and in your spirit which are God’s.
