Temple of Spirit: Inner Ownership

Neville's Inner Vision

Here, Paul invites a reading of sin and holiness as states of consciousness, not distant rules. The body is your present state, the seat where awareness dwells. Flee fornication not merely as a rule, but as a revision of the I AM you identify with. When you recognize the Holy Spirit as your indwelling awareness, you shift from fear to temple-consciousness. You are not your own; you are bought with a price—the divine price of consciousness itself. Therefore you stand in a sacred identity, and every impulse can be answered by asking: what state am I choosing to inhabit? To glorify God in body and spirit is to harmonize outward conduct with inward recognition. The outer world becomes a mirror of your inner image. If you desire purity, assume the sense of a temple already established in God, and feel your inner guidance reaffirming that truth with every breath.
