2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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

5. 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.

6. 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

7. 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
