Study Guide  Rhapsody of Realities June 2 2023: WE’RE HIS HOLY SANCTUARY

Written By Pastor Chris Oyakhilome

Highlights 

The key takeaway from today’s devotional is the profound understanding that as believers, we are the temple of God, with His Spirit dwelling within us. This divine indwelling sanctifies us, making us holy and blameless in His sight. Our sanctity surpasses that of Mount Sinai, which was declared holy merely by God’s presence. As God’s holy sanctuary, we are called to walk in the light of this truth, reigning over sin, Satan, and circumstances, and serving God joyously in love. This understanding of our divine sanctity as believers is a powerful testament to our faith and a cornerstone of our spiritual identity.

Key Verse
