The Temple of Christ

Did you know that there is a great Temple devoted to worshipping Jesus? This great temple is one in which we are all invited into. This temple is one where we as Christians should want to help keep it up and out of ruins. This temple is holy and should be unspoiled by anything or anyone. Do you know that many Christians do not take care of the temple or do things that cause decaying of the structure? Most Christians do not even realize when they are doing this and some do not care at all.
Did you know that you and I are that temple? The place where Jesus is worshipped and lives. Yes worshipped, Jesus cannot live inside us unless we worship him. The Bible tells us that the body is the temple of Christ. The place where Jesus can be found, in the hearts of men. Why then do we knowingly defile the temple? Is it because we are still living in the flesh instead of with Christ? Are we still trying to live both in Christ and the world? The Bible tells us that you cannot dwell in Christ and in the world at the same time just like we cannot serve two Gods. I use to have a problem with giving up worldly things in my life; there were some things I just did not want to give up. God showed me these things as he gave this testimony to me. There were a few things that I was still holding on to, and before God revealed them I was unaware that I was doing it.
These are some of the things God revealed to me, and I hope that if any of these fit you that you will find hope in Jesus to give them up.
We do not drink alcohol in Church so why bring alcohol into the temple of Christ. We do not use foul language in Church so why use foul language in the temple of Christ. We do not take anything deemed unclean into Church so why take it into the temple of Christ. We do not smoke in Church but some of us smoke in the temple of Christ. If you are doing anything in your life that you would not do in Church, then maybe you should not do it at all. We do these things and is it not true that your body is a temple where Jesus lives. Is it that we just do not have enough faith to let them go and let Jesus take care of us when we do. There are things we all do in our life that we would not do in Church. When God revealed this to me I had to ask Jesus to help me let go of some things because I could not do it on my own, but with his help it was possible.

1 Corinthians 3:16 Don't you know that you yourselves are Gods temple? If you are holding on to something of the world ask God to help you lay it down and walk away from it. We may not be able to do it alone but with Gods help all things are possible.

Read the following scriptures when you can, as they will tell you the same thing, your body is the temple of God.
1Corinthians 6:19 2Corinthians 6:16
