THE CHURCH IS GOD’S PERSONAL
 PROPERTY FOREVER

By Robert Schaetzle

 Do you not know that you are the  temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?  1 Corinthians 3:16 NASB 1995

For certain, the church is not the building we go to for assembly. But recognize, all of us, brothers and sisters through faith, are the personal property and the temple of God’s Spirit. To live out each day through the  Holy Spirit’s leading. We’re sealed in Him, such that no one or nothing can break that seal!

In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also believed you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise. Ephesians 1:13  No power of darkness can prevail when we call out and claim God’s ownership.

There may be moments or seasons when we feel vulnerable, but calling out to our Property Owner, we are reminded  we are protected by as God’s His Royalty. Consider some our biblical heroes of faith as God’s personal property from time past. When reflecting on the life’s of Joseph, Abraham, Moses, King David, a man after God’s own heart. All were sealed in our Lord as his personal property, as we are. They too, had their seasons of challenge, to remain steadfast in faith.

What the Apostle Paul shared of Abraham;  yet, with respect to the promise of God, he did not waver in unbelief but grew strong in faith, giving glory to God and being fully assured that what God had promised, He was able also to perform. Romans 4:20-21

Paul himself, chosen by God to be our Lord’s ‘personal Property.’ He experienced much, to established God’s Church’s throughout Aisa Minor and parts of Europe.

How we live out our faith each day, we’re His Temple that  others may identify and reflect His Light as God’s Personal Property.

Father, thank you for choosing us as your personal property to show others the Way, Amen
