The Temple You Indwell Jesus Lives Within

“The Temple You Indwell” — An Original Song by COGMA An ordinary believer can look at great stone walls with wonder and still know a greater reality: God dwells in His people by His Spirit. The Temple You Indwell turns that assurance into reverent care for everyday words and actions. *The Temple You Indwell* is inspired by 1 Corinthians 3:16 and COGMA Study Guide **S12 — Fellowship and Discipleship**. Born-again believers are God's temple because His Spirit dwells within them. The lyric moves from the scale of stone walls to Jesus living within the believer, then through ordinary hours, words and deeds. Its prayer for a life that honours His name becomes a closing profession of His holy life expressed in conduct; divine life could never be earned as wages. *SONG SOURCE* This song was developed from COGMA Study Guide material: S12 — Fellowship and Discipleship. Main Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:16. Supporting Scriptures: John 4:21–24; John 14:19; 1 Corinthians 6:19–20. *KEY THEMES* *Jesus Christ:* Jesus Christ gives His Spirit and dwells in born-again believers. *New Covenant reality:* Believers are God's temple now, because His Spirit dwells within them. *Biblical response:* Live with quiet assurance and reverent care because the lord dwells within. *Doctrinal boundary:* Present temple identity in ordinary life, distinct from the historical Pentecost foundation and from a building-centred account of worship. *A CALL TO RESPOND* Live with quiet assurance and reverent care because the lord dwells within. Receive the truth, walk in it, and let Christ's life produce a faithful response. 🎁 *SHARE THE MESSAGE FREELY* Download and share our songs through Radio COGMA: [https://radiocogma.com/](https://radiocogma.com/) Please give God the glory and keep this music freely available.
