God is faithful! And it is through God that you have been called into the fellowship of his son, King Jesus, our Lord (vs 9)
Every human being, man, woman, child, and even unborn child, bears the image and likeness of God, and has neither more nor less dignity because some other people have heard of them, look up to them, or think they’re special.
The Bible is always clear that God intends human society to be ruled by appropriate wise and just government; but all government, precisely because it wields power, has the capacity to go bad, to become arrogant, to act in ways that promote its own self-interest instead of true justice, wisdom and truth.
Don’t you see? You are God’s Temple! God’s spirit lives in you! If anyone destroys God’s Temple, God will destroy them. God’s Temple is holy, you see, and that is precisely what you are. (vs 16 & 17)
Description of a humble faith. ‘It isn’t’, he said, ‘a matter of knowing that you’ve got it all together; you haven’t. It’s a matter of knowing that somewhere it is all together and that you’re part of it.’
