“And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.”
2 Corinthians 6:15-16 KJV
Paul says says that there can be no harmony between the value that Christ reveals in people and the worthlessness that Belial represents. Faith-righteousness and work based-righteousness are two conflicting systems that can never match. We are the living God’s physical address and He made us, we did not invent God. He said that His dwelling place is us, and He will be our God, and we shall be His people. So He lives and moves and has His Being in us, as we live and move and have our being in Him - we belong together. I am His and He is mine. That’s the unforced rhythm of grace as we learn to live freely and lightly in Christ. Amen!
