Man: The Dwelling Place of God
Body as a Temple

Man - A body of three parts.

When Adam sinned, he defiled the house.

God moved out.

Adam died immediately in his spirit, progressively in his soul,
ultimately in his body.

Every believer is a body with three natures.

"Mysterious triple union — Christ IN the Father, we IN Christ, and Christ IN us. This wondrous unity is a complete riddle to all who have never been taught by the Spirit of God." Spurgeon

"Do we think as much of this truth as we should? Would we allow many things about which we are too often careless into God's Holy Temple if this truth were continually before our mind?” Spurgeon

F B Meyer adds "Built from the dust of the earth, our bodies are rarer than the most glorious structures that ever the sun shone on, because they are meant to be the SHRINE and HOME of God!"

The Lord is a Spirit, and we are human spirits, and when regeneration occurs there is a fusing of identity.

Watch this:
Paul knew the Word but he never saw Jesus in the Bible.

The Christian Life is an Exchanged Life

New Labor

Paul Before: Persecute Paul After: Proclaim
