Don't you know that you are God's temple and God's Spirit lives in you? If someone destroys God's temple, God will destroy that person, because God's temple is holy, which is what you are.

1 Corinthians 3:16-17 CEB

In the midst of Paul's lecture about who people were following, and that it's all about Jesus, Paul drops this beautiful gem;

This reminder posed as a question that finds its way down the centuries to us:

"Don't you know that you are God's temple and God's Spirit lives in you?"

The picture of the temple is full of rich imagery of where heaven and earth meet, where God dwelt, made himself known, and now, this is who you and I are.

We are the place where heaven and earth intersect, where God Himself dwells!

And then there's a warning to those who may or have caused you harm. 

Why the warning?

Because to our God you are so precious and valued.

Holy.

Valued and valuable.
