Spiritual Temple Wherever Christians are -- even if it’s a region in which no-one else can know you follow Jesus - God can use you to bless others. St. Paul wrote that "whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone" (Galatians 6:10). He encouraged Christians to "Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them" (Ephesians 4:29). In being sensitive to others, he instructed, "whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God" (1 Corinthians 10:31). By living for Jesus, we live as the Church -- even if we can’t physically attend a church -- praising His Name with our actions and building one another up for His glory. Holy Priests “Holy” is used to describe something sacred, something set apart, something unique in the world. Born in sin, humans have natural, sinful desires; but as Christians, “you must be holy in everything you do, just as God who chose you is holy” (1 Peter 1:15). “When people do what is right, it shows that they are righteous, even as Christ is righteous” (1 John 3:7). That means we, as “priests,” must follow the example our “High Priest” (Hebrews 8:1). Jesus gave us: loving and obeying God, and loving and serving others. .
