I Cor. 3 & John 14

I am God’s temple because his Holy Spirit dwells in me. I am holy because God’s  spirit is holy and God’s spirit dwells in me! This is not a boast about me. It is just god’s way of saving and sanctifying me, and of glorifying himself. I was lost in sin and self,  but now, by god’s grace, I am called, chosen and justified. There is a new man dwelling in me who is divine and who lives holy and pleasing to God.

This is all a sovereign, supernatural gift of God. I am a new creation by the power of God and because of the love of God. I boast in nothing except the cross of my Lord Jesus, by which the world has been crucified to me and I have been crucified to the world.  I love the Lord, and I keep my eyes on his word, and the father gives me the spirit of truth who is with me forever. I know him for he dwells with me and is in me.
