LIVE DISCUSSION: All Promises to National Israel - FULFILLED (Part 5 of 5)
Send us a text
The profound truth that we are God's living temple transforms everything about how we understand faith, fellowship, and our future. During this powerful discussion, we unpack the revolutionary concept that God no longer dwells in buildings made by human hands but within the hearts of believers.
Starting with Christ's enigmatic words in John 2 about destroying and rebuilding the temple, we explore how this statement wasn't about physical architecture but about his body - and by extension, the church. This realization dismantles common misconceptions about end-times prophecies focusing on temple rebuilding while revealing our extraordinary identity as "living stones" being built into God's true spiritual house.
The conversation traces God's covenant journey throughout scripture - from the covenant of works in Eden through various Old Testament covenants, culminating in Christ's perfect covenant of grace. This "expansion theology" reveals how God has progressively unveiled humanity's desperate need for salvation, always pointing toward Jesus as the ultimate solution.
Perhaps most significantly, this understanding breaks down false divisions between Jew and Gentile, revealing that God's concern isn't with ethnicity or religious ritual but with building one unified people through Christ. Nobody holds special status apart from being chosen "according to the election of grace."
The discussion becomes deeply personal as participants share how this biblical understanding has transformed their relationships and spiritual journeys. We explore how avoiding "foolish contentions" over theological technicalities frees us to focus on Christ while experiencing authentic fellowship that refreshes rather than drains the spirit.
Join us for this heart-opening conversation that will challenge your understanding of God's temple while inviting you into deeper communion with Christ and his body. Share your thoughts and experiences in the comments - how has seeing yourself as God's temple changed your spiritual perspective?
