God's Living Temple!


‘God’s Living Temple.’
1 Corinthians 3:11-17.
a)        1 Corinthians 3:11.  For no one can lay any foundation other than the one that has been laid; that foundation is Jesus Christ.
b)       1 Corinthians 3:12. People will want to build on the Foundation with:-
1-       Gold.
2-       Silver.
3-       Precious Stones.
4-       Wood.
5-       Hay.
6-       Straw.
c)        1 Corinthians 3:13. The work of every builder will be tested by fire.
d)       1 Corinthians 3:14. If what is built survives the test the builder will have a reward.
e)        1 Corinthians 3:15. If what is built is burned up because it fails the test that builder will survive even though they pass through the fire.
f)         1 Corinthians 3:16. We are God’s Temple and God’s Spirit dwells in us.
g)       1 Corinthians 3:17. If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person. For God’s temple is Holy, and you are that temple.
(This QT reminds me that I am God’s Living Temple)

a)        King Ahaz sacrificed to the gods of Damascus which had defeated him.
b)       He reasoned that because these gods helped them that they would help him too.
c)        They were the ruin of King Ahaz and all Israel.
(This Second one shows me An Incorrect Way Of Thinking)
