OUR BODIES ARE GOD’S TEMPLES

“Be Ye Riled Witb the Spirit”

The Unregenerate Their Prfvflegee. “If the Bpirit of God Dwell In You.” Greater Privilegee—Greater Responsibilities—Greater Honor* and Gloriea Baved to Human Perfection—Saved to Bpirit Perfection-Earthly Glory. Heavenly Glory.

Scripture could not be applied Indiscriminately to all men. Only the Church are the Temple of God in tbe sense the Apostle here mentions; for only such as have been regenerated, or begotten of the Holy Spirit, are sons of God. These have received a new life, and are Scrlpturally described as “New Creatures in Christ.” These have entered into a covenant witb God through the merit of Jeens, who imputes His righteousness to them, justifying them freely /from their unintentional Imperfections and weaknesses.

Then the Pastor pointed eat the distinction between these spirit-begotten New Creatures and the remainder of mankind, however jnst and well-in-tentioned. He showed that ordinarily we do not speak of humanity apart from their bodies; for, cut off from the body, they would be dead. We speak of such separation as dissolution. As tte union of life (vitality) with organism (body) forms the soul, or sentient being, so their separation causes the soul to cease. Death would be the end of humanity, had not God provided for the redemption of the race, and its restitution by resurrection. Restitution will be merely a bringing back of that which death Is now destroying —human, or earthly, bring. Next the speaker showed that anything done, either deliberately or carelessly, to Injure God’s workmanship would be sin. There is a Divine Law to the effect that whoever sins shall suffer. Whoever defiles his body, either by impure thoughts, angry thoughts, malicious thoughts, or by misusing it contrary’to Divine arrangement; or by drinking or by gluttony, is defiling the temple of hls own soul—the work of God.

Every vile thought or act, every pandering to appetite. Is sure to bring depravity of body or mind or both; and depravity, he claimed, is death at work. Unless such depravity be overcome through Christ, the end will be everlasting death, as is written. “The soul that slnneth, It shall die.” The same principle, said the Pastor, applies to all who do evil to others, either by poisoning their minds or their morals, or by Injuring their physical systems. Such do violence to God’s work, and degrade their own manhood. The operation of Divine Law will surely bring punishments, which, unheeded, will ultimately bring death—“everlasting destruction.’* We may warn every man along the broad Biblical line, “Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap,” continued the speaker. Whoever sows to the flesh—to sin. selfishness, meanness—to the fallen propensities—anger, malice, envy, hatred, strife, evil speaking, etc.—will be sure to reap correspondingly bitter experiences. This way. persisted in, will- finally bring him to the Second Death.

God’s Temple the Church. The Pastor then briefly reviewed Israel’s wilderness experiences.
