We Have the Holy of Holies Within Us
1 CORINTHIANS 3:16
Do you not discern and understand that you [the whole church at Corinth] are God’s temple (His sanctuary), and that God’s Spirit has His permanent dwelling in you—to be at home in you [collectively as a church and also individually]?
God is actually making our bodies His home. No longer does God dwell in a man-made Holy of Holies. In the Old Testament, the Presence of God was kept shut up in the Holy of Holies.
Remember the woman at the well of Samaria said to Jesus, “The Jews say you have to worship God in Jerusalem, but our forefathers worshipped God in this mountain” (John 4:20).
The time would come when man would no longer be confined to worship God in a designated place such as Jerusalem for the Jews, or Mt. Gerizim where the Samaritans worshipped God.
Man worship's God in his heart or spirit where God would make his abode with man (Jer. 31:33; John 14:16,17,23; Heb. 8:8-13). Amen
