The Supplied Life Devotional for December 18
His enlargement
Revelation 21:22
"But I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple." Revelation 21:22
When this verse reveals that God Himself is the temple, it does not mean that God is the temple by Himself. Rather, it means that God is so thoroughly and completely embodied in His people that they have become an enlargement of Him as a temple (1 Cor. 3:16; 2 Cor. 6:16). They are His dwelling place to such an extent that they perfectly express Him and have His glory (Rev. 21:9-11). God's building at the end of the Bible is composed of God Himself built into every saint transformed and conformed to the image of His Son (Rom. 8:29).
