You are a living temple 1.

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.” 
Romans 12:1(KJV)

The Bible tells us in our opening scripture to present our bodies as a living sacrifice. Why is it important for you to present your body as a living sacrifice? It is because your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit according to 1 Corinthians 3:16 which says, “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?” This shows you that the Holy Spirit is always dwelling in you. That means that as a child of God there is never a time that the Holy Spirit is not present in you because you are the temple of the Holy Spirit.(John 14:16)

Therefore as the temple of the Holy Spirit, wherever you are God is present with you in the person of the Holy Spirit. So, whatever cannot be done when we are gathered together to worship in the physical church building should not be done by you when you are outside, no matter where you are because you are the church. This is why the life of sin cannot be practiced by a Christian because there is no place you can sin any more because you are the temple of the Holy Spirit. The temple should be holy. See 1 Corinthians 6:19-20.

PRAYER
Dear Father I present myself to you as a living sacrifice pure and holy to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to you in Jesus Name. Amen.

For further study read:
Ezekiel 36:27, John 14:16-17, Romans 8:11, 1 John 4:15-16

DOING THE WORD
