Building a Temple vs BEING a Temple

2 Chronicles 24:12 - And the king (Joash) and Jehoiada gave it to those who had charge of the work of the house of the Lord, and they hired masons and carpenters to restore the house of the Lord…

 

“It is a much easier thing to build a temple for God than it is TO BE A TEMPLE FOR God.” C.H. Spurgeon

 

A Good Start: A Book for Young Men and Women by C.H. Spurgeon

 

How can we BE a temple for God?

 

Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 5:23 that we are body, soul, and spirit - what do each of these components mean and how can we improve in each?

 

  • Spirit
    • Must be “born again” - and being made alive in Christ means that you see the rest of reality through a different lens
    • Soul
      • Mind - we don’t want to conform to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of our MINDS - trained to think differently, learning to use your mind to advance the Kingdom and not just yourself
      • Emotions - good indicators, bad masters - listen and learn
      • Will - what are you doing that is worthy of being a child of God?
      • Body
        • Be careful of vanity and chasing after temporary things
        • Can you serve the Lord…your family…and others in your present physical condition?
