The Temple of God (Part Seven) - We are the Temple of God

Just as the Tabernacle in the wilderness, the Temple in Jerusalem, and the Body (Temple) of Jesus were all called by the name of the Lord, we too as the Temple of God are called by the name of the Lord.

We received His name, JESUS, when we obeyed the gospel and were baptized in water in the name of Jesus.

"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." - Acts 2:38 KJV

This is how we are called by His name.

"That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things." - Acts 15:17 KJV

"Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called?" - James 2:7 KJV

Just as the Tabernacle, the Temple, and the Body of Christ were all filled with the glory of God, we too when we receive the Holy Ghost are filled with the glory of God.

"That like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." - Romans 6:4 KJV

"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 6:16 KJV

"Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?" - 1 Corinthians 3:16 KJV

Just as there was fire with the Tabernacle with the pillar of fire at night, fire consuming the sacrifices in the Temple, and Christ baptizing with the Holy Ghost and fire, we receive the Holy Ghost and fire.

"He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:" - Matthew 3:11 KJV

"And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance." - Acts 2:3-4 KJV
