Sanctuary

A place set aside for worship: tabernacle, temple…a certain part of today’s church buildings. Exo. 25:8

A place where sacrifices are offered to Jehovah.

It is a most sacred place.

Lord, Prepare Me

If the Lord’s Spirit is to dwell in us, our bodies must be prepared. We want the Lord to dwell in us that we may

have fellowship with Him. Therefore we humbly ask Him, “Lord, prepare

me”… that He may dwell in each of us.

Pure and Holy

God can only dwell in us if we’re pure (without blemish). Heb. 9:11-14

Because God is holy, and makes us Holy through the blood of Christ…our bodies must be set aside for a holy calling. Heb. 10:10, 14, 19-25

Tried and True

We want our bodies to be a faithfully reliable dwelling place for our Lord. Cp. 2 Co. 6:4-7

So, we make supplication that the Lord test our faith that we may be found “tried and true” before Him.

With Thanksgiving

The need to be living sanctuaries. Rom. 12:1-2

Every aspect of our lives will contain the Way of the Lord. Col. 3:16-17

Sanctuary: “For God”

Is your life a sanctuary for the Lord? If so, glorify Him in your body. If not, God wants to purchase your body (with

the blood of Christ) so you can be a sanctuary that lives to glorify Him. 1 Co. 6:20
