The Spirit of God Lives within the Temple of God

which is You and Other Believers

16Don’t you realize that all of you together are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God lives in you? 17God will destroy anyone who destroys this temple. For God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple. 18Stop deceiving yourselves. If you think you are wise by this world’s standards, you need to become a fool to be truly wise. 19For the wisdom of this world is foolishness to God. As the Scriptures say, “He traps the wise in the snare of their own cleverness.” 20And again, “The LORD knows the thoughts of the wise; he knows they are worthless.” 21So don’t boast about following a particular human leader. For everything belongs to you— 22whether Paul or Apollos or Peter, or the world, or life and death, or the present and the future. Everything belongs to you, 23and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God. 1 Corinthians 6 NLT – Read More Commentary @ http://biblehub.com/nlt/1_corinthians/3.htm And the Variety of Commentaries located @ http://biblehub.com/1_corinthians/3-16.htm Also Read Commentary @ http://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/1611_1-Corinthians-3-21/

*Special Affirmation – As a Believer, my Father God blesses me with power because I am a living temple of his Holy Spirit. As a Believer, my Father God blesses me with what I need because I am a part of the spiritual body of Christ; and everything belongs to me spiritually as a part of the body of Christ whether of the world, or life and death, or the present and the future. Yes; everything belongs to me, and I belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.

Day 20 – Doing Good to All

Day 20 – Doing Good to All –

Man and Woman cannot make a fool out of God, the Most Highest because there is a spiritual law that says we reap what we sow…

“Each of you must examine your own actions. Then you can be proud of your own accomplishments without comparing yourself to others. Assume your own responsibility. The person who is taught God's word should share all good things with his teacher. Make no mistake about this: You can never make a fool out of God. Whatever you plant is what you'll harvest. If you plant in [the soil of] your corrupt nature, you will harvest destruction. But if you plant in [the soil of] your spiritual nature, you will harvest everlasting life. We can't allow ourselves to get tired of living the right way. Certainly, each of us will receive [everlasting life] at the proper time, if we don't give up. Whenever we have the opportunity, we have to do what is good for everyone, especially for the family of believers.” Galatians 6:5-10 GWT @ http://biblehub.com/gwt/galatians/6.htm And at the Variety of Commentaries located @ http://biblehub.com/galatians/6-4.htm

Day 20 – Doing Good to All –

1Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted. 2Carry

each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. 3If anyone thinks they are something when they are not, they deceive themselves. 4Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else, 5for each one should carry their own load. 6Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word should share all good things with their instructor. 7Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 8Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. 9Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. 10Therefore, as we have the opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers. Galatians NIV – More Commentary@ http://biblehub.com/niv/galatians/6.htm And at the Variety of Commentaries located @ http://biblehub.com/galatians/6-7.htm

*Special Affirmation – As a Believer, my Father God blesses me for being truthful and honest when I see a brother or sister making a mistake and for encouraging them to take note that they will bear the burden of their irresponsibility because we reap what we sow. My Father God sees what I am doing, and He will reward me for my efforts of bearing the burden of being honest with my brother and sister because He blesses me for being good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers. As a Believer who continues to have actions that are pleasing to the Holy Spirit of My Father God, I will be blessed with eternal life, and at the proper time, I will also reap a physical and spiritual blessing for carrying a load for goodness and not giving up.

Day 19 – Receiving God's Approval

Day 19 – Receiving

God's Approval

Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved, and “Everyone who believes has God's approval through faith in Jesus Christ. There is no difference between people. Because all people have sinned, they have fallen short of God's glory. They receive God's approval is freely by an act of his kindness through the price Christ Jesus paid to set us free [from sin]. God showed that Christ is the throne of mercy where God's approval is given through faith in Christ's blood. In his patience, God waited to deal with sins committed in the past. He waited so that he could display his approval at the present time. This shows that he is a God of justice, a God who approves of people who believe in Jesus.” – Romans 3:22-26 GWT @ http://biblehub.com/gwt/romans/3.htm And at the Variety of Commentaries located @ http://biblehub.com/romans/3-22.htm

Day 19 – Receiving God's Approval

¹Brothers and sisters, my heart's desire and prayer to God on behalf of the Jewish people is that they would be saved. ²I can assure you that they are deeply devoted to God, but they are misguided. ³They don't understand [how to receive] God's approval. So they try to set up their own way to get it, and they have not accepted God's way for receiving his approval. ⁴Christ is the fulfillment of Moses'

Teachings so that everyone who has faith may receive God's approval. ⁵Moses writes about receiving God's approval by following his laws. He says, "The person who obeys laws will live because of the laws he obeys." ⁶However, Scripture says about God's approval which is based on faith, "Don't ask yourself who will go up to heaven," (that is, to bring Christ down). ⁷"Don't ask who will go down into the depths," (that is, to bring Christ back from the dead). ⁸However, what else does it say? "This message is near you. It's in your mouth and in your heart." This is the message of faith that we spread. ⁹If you declare that Jesus is Lord, and believe that God brought him back to life, you will be saved. ¹⁰By believing you receive God's approval, and by declaring your faith you are saved.¹¹Scripture says, "Whoever believes in him will not be ashamed."¹²There is no difference between Jews and Greeks. They all have the same Lord, who gives his riches to everyone who calls on him. ¹³So then, "Whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." Romans 10:1-13 GWT @ http://biblehub.com/gwt/romans/10.htm And at the Variety of Commentaries located @ http://biblehub.com/romans/10-13.htm

*Special Affirmation –

As a Believer, I have obtained Father God's approval by faith because I readily declare that Jesus Christ is Lord, and I truly believe that Father God brought him back to life so that I could claim my salvation birthright. As a Believer, I am not ashamed because whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be given the gift of salvation via Jesus Christ by faith!

As a Believer through Christ Jesus under the New Covenant, the law of the Spirit who gave me life has set me free from the law of sin and death formerly under the Old Covenant. As a Believer, under the New Covenant I am Blessed and Highly Favored as a Child of Almighty God.

Jesus: The Breath of Life

by Nicholas T. Batzig

“There is a fascinating biblical-theological development from creation to new creation having to do with “the breath of life.” Moving from Creation to Redemption, the teaching of Scripture on the “breath of life” is meant to teach us that physical and spiritual life is found exclusively in the Creator and Redeemer–Jesus Christ…” Complete Commentary @ http://feedingonchrist.com/jesus-breath-life/

Day 17 – Hold Firmly to the Faith

Day 17 –

Hold Firmly

to the Faith

Apostle Paul wrote to the Hebrews “…since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess” Hebrews 4:14 NIV. Faith is one of the most important factors in establishing a belief in God’s Special Gift of Salvation from Jesus Christ. For our specific salvation purposes, Jesus Christ is a priest, and a high priest who came to bring into fruition the New Covenant which erased the Old Covenant of blood sacrifice. Jesus Christ went to the cross as the Ultimate Blood Sacrifice; “When Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, He yielded up His spirit. At that moment the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split.” The ripping of the veil of the temple is symbolic of Our New Mercy Covenant from God Our Father. “The rending of the veil signified that Christ, by his death, opened a way to God. We have an open way through Christ to the throne of grace, or mercy-seat now, and to the throne of glory hereafter. More Commentary at Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary @ http://biblehub.com/matthew/27-51.htm Plus Additional Commentary at the Variety of Commentaries for Hebrews 4:14 NIV is located @ http://biblehub.com/hebrews/4-14.htm

The Scriptural Basis for Hold

Firmly to the Faith

– Hebrews 4:14-16 NIV

“Jesus the Great High Priest - ¹⁴Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. ¹⁵For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. ¹⁶Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.” Hebrews 14-16 NIV- More Commentary @ http://biblehub.com/niv/hebrews/4.htm And at the Variety of Commentaries of Hebrews 4:14 located @ http://biblehub.com/hebrews/4-14.htm

*Special Affirmation – As a Believer, my Father God has blessed me with the Gift of Salvation and all I have to do is accept and profess acceptance of the gift. As a Believer who lives daily within this physical body, I must continually hold firmly to the faith, because Jesus Christ has already paid the price and is currently ascended into heaven as The Greatest High Priest, and The Greatest Blood Sacrifice. My Father God sees what I am doing, and He will reward me for my efforts.

Two Studies on Hold Firmly to the Faith…

“Holding Firmly to the Faith We Profess (Hebrews 4:14)” by Juli Camarin

“Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens,

Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess” (Hebrews 4:14)

“The resurrection of Jesus Christ was the pinnacle of history.

The fate of mankind hinged on this one event.

And as Jesus was raised from the dead, he ascended through

the heavens past every authority and spiritual force in existence.

Nothing they could do stopped the ascension of our Savior

and they watched in horror as life defeated death once for all…”
