The Temple of God and the Son of God


The Temple of God is similar to the Son of God. The Temple of God and the Son of God both refer to the body of God. 

"Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. ... But he spake of the temple of his body." - John 2:19, 21 KJV

"To wit, that God was in Christ," - 2 Corinthians 5:19 KJV

When we repent of our sins, are baptized in the name of Jesus for the remission of sins, and receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, we become the temple of God as well as a son of God. (Acts 2:38).

In the following verses, the Bible speaks of us being a temple of God as well as sons of God.

"And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? 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. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, and will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty." - 2 Corinthians 6:16-18 KJV (See also: 1Corinthians 3:16-17, 1Corinthians 6:19).

"Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is." - 1 John 3:1-2 KJV

"Do all things without murmurings and disputings: That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;" - Philippians 2:14-15 KJV (See also: Romans 8:19, Galatians 4:6, Hebrews 12:7).

"For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God." - Romans 8:14 KJV
