The Constant Works Of The Holy Spirit

 It is an amazing privilege as well as a huge responsibility to realize that as Christians our frail, human body is a temple of God. One result of trusting in Jesus as Savior is to have God's Holy Spirit come and take up permanent residence within our mortal frame.
 We can live our lives in our own strength rather than abiding in the power and strength of Christ, but the house we build will be of wood, hay, and stubble, which will finally be burned up. In this case, we would be eternally saved, but would have laid up no treasure in heaven, in us there is no good thing. Or we can choose to submit to the Holy Spirit, die to self, and live to Christ so that it is God Who works in us both to will and to do His good pleasure.
 The Constant Works Of The Holy Spirit in all Church age believers, from the moment we are saved, is a blessing of such magnitude, it is hard to comprehend. Let us recognize the amazing privilege, huge responsibility, and serious truth that the Spirit of God has taken up permanent residence in our bodies and live our lives as unto the Lord.
Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst?

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we are beginning to understand the incredible privilege and the serious consequences of having Your Spirit dwelling in our bodies. We pray that we may live worthy of the callings to which we have been called. Help us live our lives from this day forward, as unto the Lord. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN.
