Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives among you? (1 Corinthians 3:16)
Our focus in 1 Corinthians has been how we live as God’s holy people. In this verse, the apostle Paul gives us a great reason as to why we should live as God’s holy people. We are God’s temple - the place where God is - and we have God’s spirit - God - living among us. Why should we live as holy people? Because we already are holy people - Paul just wants us to live as the people we already are.
we declare God’s wisdom, a mystery that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. (1 Corinthians 2:7)
As we return to 1 Corinthians, we see the amazing news that God has revealed something to us that is for our glory. What is that mystery? How can we get glory from it? How does it affect how we live?

‘You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.’ (Matthew 5:13)
Salt is an amazing thing. It adds taste and preserves food, and it is essential to life. Historically, salt was very costly. Jesus described his followers as being like salt (and light) in the world. What does this mean? How can we be like salt to the world?
