Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? 1 Corinthians 6:19

 A few weeks ago we had some friends over for supper. Not that we have a messy house being it’s just me and my wife here, but we spent a considerable amount of time cleaning and organizing the house over the course of a few days. Once complete, I thought to myself we need to have company over more often. How do you prepare when you are expecting company?

 As a child of God, it’s good to be reminded that you house the Holy Spirit of God. Just like your house with expected company, you should make every effort to keep your life free of sin and choices that grieve the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 4:30). Acceptance of Jesus Christ is to surrender your entire life to Him, as He paid in full your free ticket to eternal life.

 Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Ephesians 4:31

 I encourage you to do a “walk through” of your life and see what areas need to be cleaned up. Ephesians 4:31 list just a few things that grieve the Holy Spirit. There are more found in God’s word. It’s important to study up on what is good and what dirties your spiritual residence for God. Afterall, He has your name written in the book of life, His adopted child of God. Make it a perfect place for Him to reside and He will richly bless your life!
