Lion of Grace Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 We should be a dwelling place for God in Spirit by "being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ." 1 Peter 2:4-5. We have to be "doers" of the word. We are followers of Christ. Also in 1 Peter 2: 18-25 we are shown what we are called to as individuals and as a congregation. To submit ourselves to those who are not only good and considerate, but to those who are harsh. For it is commendable if a man bears up under suffering because he is conscience of God. This is what Jesus taught us and showed us through His life....His example to us. Love covers over all wrongs. If we each esteemed others over ourselves and really gave our all to Christ....entering into His wonderful light....we would be a most excellent example of the way Christ lived and wants us to live. Jesus....the way, the truth, the light! We follow Him! Beam on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerneydr Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 Q5. (Ephesians 2:22) In what ways should your congregation be "a dwelling place for God in the Spirit"? According to verse 22, how do the members of the congregation help bring this about? What shape should this take in your own life? In the life of your own congregation? Exposition Each believer is a Temple of the Holy Spirit. Also each local church His dwelling as shown by being the lamp stand in Revelation 2 to 3. God the Holy Spirit wants to shine brightly through His church, His bride. Yes, Jesus is the cornerstone that plumbs and alines the churches mission on earth. He is the Rock that we are to stand firm upon and He is the Head of the Church in which we are giving direction. We are being built in Him as we collaborate with Him and become willing to follow His voice of instruction. In many areas of the world the local church has nearly disappeared, because it failed to repent (Rev. 2 -3). God is the base and the head, but His will is to work with us to build His church on earth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff@qlbc Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 The people in a church are God's temple. The Holy spirit dwells with us as we gather to worship, fellowship, provide discipleship, serve, and proclaim the Good News of Jesus. Each one of these elements are necessary for the temple to become ablaze with God's glory. Each church should provide all of these elements to the people and to unify the congregation in a harmonious way. The people in the church should examine whether or not they are participating in each of these elements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Jerry Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 The way that our congregation is “a dwelling place for God in the Spirit” is that we devote our services to the Lord. We are always in contact with him so that we don’t wander off too far. The way that the congregation helps bring this about is by being built together and becoming a dwelling which God lives by the spirit. The shape that this should take in my own life is that I need to be there so that I can be built into that congregation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoanG Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 We should be a "dwelling place for God in the Spirit" by being faithful to His word and commandments. By worshipping with our whole being. We should be able to have love radiate from ourselves and rain down on everyone present. We should go outside of our congregation and be a light source to all. We should be a welcoming beacon for all who need help, a friendly place to feel safe. As we start to share openly and work together on common goals, we as a congregation grow in the spirit collectively. Our personal spiritual life will be transforming of ourselves and this will bring about great change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinstonY Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Q5. (Ephesians 2:22) In what ways should your congregation be "a dwelling place for God in the Spirit"? According to verse 22, how do the members of the congregation help bring this about? What shape should this take in your own life? In the life of your own congregation? Our churches are communities where we are gathered together in Christ to love the Lord our God and our neighbour as ourselves. God has always been a God of community. He promised Abraham a great family as a community. God through the pain and suffering of Joseph saved jacob's family from starvation. Through Moses God liberated the Hebrew people. God lived in the midst of the Israelites in a tent for sake of the community. In the same fashion God saves us through the salvic action of Christ so that we as a community will be saved. God lives through the Holy Spirit in our communities the churches just as He lives in our Spirit through the action of the Holy spirit. We bring this about by living inside the community in faith, trust, belief and hope in our Lord Jesus Christ who is risen and lives in our communities the churches just as God lived in the tabernacle of old. We should live in love and in sharing with the members of our church community in love of God and for our fellows and transmit the radiance of Christ's love as we love God and others. we also need to live in Hope, a hope which does not fail, a hope in the promise of the new covenant which God made with people through Jesus Christ our Lord. All in the cingregation should do the same and then the strength of the whole will be greater than the some of the parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
