THEO 212

Every time I hear the word Church the first thing that comes in my mind is that it is a
Temple of God. It is a temple of God because it is where the people or Christians who
really believe in God become united in worshiping our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The
Church is Holy because it is the physical representation Gods kingdom here on earth.
The Church has been sanctified by God, as his holy dwelling place. Thats why we should
respect it as we love and respect God. The church helps the people grow like Christ
through the teachings of a Pastor or a Priest that will help the understand the true
meaning of life. The church should be a radical community of people among whom the
presence of the Spirit is real, which attracts people to forsake the pagan world to find the
genuine presence of God. In Ezekiel 37:27 says My dwelling place shall be with them;
and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. It talks about Gods covenant
promise that he will dwell in the midst of his chosen people. The implication is that as a
believer of our Holy God we must live with a holy life and continue to spread the word of
God. The church is a living community, which continues to grow and develop, but it is a
community where Gods Spirit dwells, making it holy and sanctified temple. This new
community transcends all divisions between people, whether of status, culture or gender.
