“Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?” (1 Corinthians 3:16, NASB)
“A revelation of the indwelling Spirit was the remedy Paul offered the Corinthian Christians for their unholiness … Their need, like ours today, was to grasp the fact that God Himself had taken up His abode in them … We regard Him as a mere influence – an influence for good, no doubt, but no more than that … Like the Corinthians our trouble is not that we lack God’s gift of the indwelling Spirit, but that we have not yet awakened to the reality of His presence. We fail to appreciate the essential holiness of the One what has made His abode within our hearts.”
(from A Table in the Wilderness by Watchman Nee, June 25th)

Today I may be joining … Scripture & a Snapshot .
This reminds me of Peter’s letter where he says that God’s power has given us everything we need for life and godliness – we have it through the Holy Spirit! Yet often we struggle to live this out. May we be more aware of his presence with us.
The great question. We have everything we need in Christ and yet we do not see it or adhere to it. We continue to argue against each other instead of loving each other.
