Subject: Temple of the Holy Spirit |
Bible Note: Hi Ngop, You have evidently done some deep thinking about the Holy Spirit. You have talked about the Breath of God. I would have you consider that the breath that was breathed into Adam was not the Spirit Himself. I would also have you consider that the Spirit in Ezekiel 11:19 says "And I shall give them one heart, and shall put a new spirit within them. And I shall take the heart of stone out of their flesh and give them a heart of flesh, that they may walk in My statutes and keep My ordinances, and do them. Then they will be My people, and I shall be their God." When we become a Christian we are given a new spirit. Ezekiel 18:30ff says, "Repent and turn away from all your transgressions, so that iniquity may not become a stumbling block to you. Cast away from you all your transgressions which you have committed, and make yourselves a new heart and a new spirit! For why will you die, O house of Israel?" When we join ourselves to the Lord we are one spirit. 1 Corinthians 6:17, "But the one who joins himself to the Lord is one spirit [with Him]." Emmaus has pointed out that we are physical and spiritual. It would be good to consider that as we look at 1 Corinthians 6:20. Right now I have in my personal copy written in pencil, "and in your spirit, which are God's." So I would go with the NKJ, "For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's." 1 John 3:24, Ephesians 5:30, and Romans 7:4 might be considered while you look at what kind of body we are and just who and/or what we have in us.
