The Temple of the Holy Spirit: Identity as God’s Dwelling Place

God Dwelling Among His People!

As the world begins its celebration of the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) tonight, we’re reminded that every Feast of the Lord carries a prophetic message pointing to the Messiah. The apostle Paul wrote, “Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath. These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ” (Colossians 2:16-17).
