The Temple of God (part 1)

8/14/2022

Paul ties together the imagery of building on the right foundation by highlighting what it is that’s being built. That, of course, is the Temple of God. This is no physical edifice, but a spiritual one. It is not marked by physical boundaries but by holiness. It’s architect and architecture are known and loved by builders. It’s supports are godly wisdom rather than profane folly.

​These are the precious stones, gold, and silver with which the believer ought to build. Doing so produces a humility and submission to the Triune God, who is present and active in our justification and sanctification.
I Corinthians 3:16-23

    About the Series

    Paul’s First Epistle to the church in Corinth is a letter full of love and sorrow. Love for God’s Word and His Church is present on every page and sorrow for a church that has given over to the divisive wantonness of a real-world “Vanity Fair.”
