The Temple of God

God’s dealings with Christian believers always are based on a specificpurpose. God has a definite plan in Christ that Heis carrying out. If we are to enter the life of victory in Christit is important that we recognize we are part of God’s plan that is movingtoward fulfilment according to His wisdom and unlimited power.

Central to God’s plan is His desire to dwell in a living temple. Theliving temple of God is Christ—Headand Body. Christ is the House of God. The members ofthe Body of Christ are many rooms in the one House of God.

The construction of an eternal dwelling place for Himself is one of theprincipal purposes of God in the Christian Church.It is difficult for the Lord to come into a satisfying relationship with Hiscreatures. The Body of Christ, which is the Temple of God,removes that difficulty by becoming the hand and heart of God extended to people every where.

It is God’s will for us that we, by diligent and consistent faith inChrist, enter our individual role in the Divine plan and then rest with Christas the Father brings all the enemies of Christ under His feet.
