WE ARE GOD'S HOUSE
Hebrews 3:6 But Christ is faithful as the Son over God’s house. And we are his house, if indeed we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope in which we glory. (NIV)
In the old testament times Moses built a tabernacle for the Lord. God Himself gave him the pattern for the building yet it was not His house but a place where His presence manifested. After God gave King David victory on every side. He said to build a house for the Lord. God told Him that his son Solomon would build it instead. King Solomon eventually built a magnificent house for the Lord. Yet the Bible says God doesn't live in houses made by human hands. Acts 7:47-48 But it was Solomon who built a house for him. "However, the Most High does not live in houses made by human hands. As the prophet says:
The Bible says that Christ is faithful as the Son over God’s house. And we are His house. The Church (the body of Christ) is the house of God and He lives in every one of us. You are God's house. When we talk about God's house is not just about our physical body. It's much more than that. Our spirit is God's actual house.
God is a Spirit. His house could only be a spiritual building. Because only a spiritual house could be the home of an eternal being. Otherwise at some point He would become homeless. Earthly buildings and our earthly bodies comes to an end. God needs something eternal, and that's your spirit.
In Christ we are the living stones with which this house is built, and still being built through the new born agains that are being brought in.
Ephesians 2:21-22 In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.
God lives in us by His Spirit. Every one of us is God's house. Walk in this consciousness. Hallelujah!
CONFESSION
I am God's house; His building, temple and dwelling. He lives in me by His Spirit. Jesus the Chief Stone has charge over me. And like Him I am a living stone; an indispensable part of the building. Glory to God!
