In Romans Paul writes: "Present your bodies as a living sacrifice holy and acceptable to God." In I Corinthians 3:16 Paul writes yet again: "Don't you realize that all of you together are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God lives in you?" vs. 17.."For God's temple is holy, and you are that temple." So it is pretty clear that we are God's temple and God's temple is holy. As a temple of God with the Spirit of God in me I am called to live my life sanctified.
Sanctified; set apart; holy. To live my life holy and acceptable to Christ and to see his kingdom come I must live counterculture, opposite of what the world teaches. We are in the world but not
of the world. Nothing can come between us and God, He is the main focus for our lives. Our first priority as disciples of Christ is to glorify the Lord in everything we do. Second, and more like along with, we must put it all on the line to preach and evangelize to the lost to see the Gospel and Good News of Jesus Christ spread to all people.
We are instruments of the Lord, " Where You go I'll go, you what You say I'll say Lord."
I am yours God, here I am send me to do the work of your hands, I am set apart wholly for you. Your Kingdom come your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
