‘Because Of The Promises.’
2 Corinthians 7:1.
At the end of Chapter 6 Apostle Paul gave three promises to the Corinthian Church if they came out of the wrong relationships that they were in.
1- The Promise of God’s Presence.
2- The Promise of God’s Acceptance.
3- The Promise of God’s Fatherhood.
Because of these promises there should be a response from the Church:-
a) Clean themselves from all evil of flesh.
b) Clean themselves from all evil of spirit.
c) Doing (living) Holiness with the Fear of the Lord.
(Through this QT I understand about responding to God Because Of The Holiness)

‘God’s Temporary Dwelling Places.’
Psalm 76:2.
a) God said that He would tabernacle in Salem – the place of Peace.
b) God said that He would tabernacle at Zion – the place of Worship.
c) This was God’s special Presence with His People.
d) God received His People’s Worship.
e) God was amongst His People at this time in a very real way.
(This Second one makes me give thanks to Him for God’s Special Dwelling Places amongst His People. I am amazed that the Bible tells me that my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit)

How much Grace and how amazing God is that He actually receives His People’s Worship. This is surely another proof of the Love of God for us. True Worship is not for us – it is for God. True Worship is not just songs and music, True Worship is everything we do in God and especially our gathering together as True Believers.
