“What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?”
1 Corinthians 6:19 KJV
Paul reveals an awesome mystery to the Ekklesia, “Have you forgotten that your body is now the sacred temple of the Spirit of Holiness, who lives in you? You don’t belong to yourself any longer, for the gift of God, the Holy Spirit, lives inside your sanctuary”. Do we not realise that Pentecost changed the whole scenario for us, who believe and have identified with Christ’s death, burial and resurrection! Now our body is the sacred sanctuary of the Spirit of God Who has come to dwell in us permanently. The Spirit of God was in the Holy of holies in the tabernacle in the wilderness and the glory of the LORD would come upon it. The Spirit of God was in Solomon’s temple and the Spirit of God came bringing the glory of the LORD on it. In the second temple, the Presence of God came when Jesus went to the temple. After His Resurrection, Christ went as High Priest into the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, with His own Blood and He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption. Now the Blood of Christ, through the eternal Spirit has been offered without spot to God, and sent the Spirit of God to all believers to let the glory of the LORD dwell in our body. Hallelujah!
