Your body is God's temple

 Blessings in Jesus, saints.♡

Do you not know that you yourselves are God’s temple, and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?

¹⁷If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple.

1 Corinthians 3:16‭-‬17 BSB

You, however, are controlled not by the flesh, but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ.

Romans 8:9 BSB

Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;

1 Corinthians 6:19 BSB

What agreement can exist between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be My people.”

2 Corinthians 6:16 BSB

In Him the whole building is fitted together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord. ²²And in Him you too are being built together into a dwelling place for God in His Spirit.

Ephesians 2:21‭-‬22 BSB ♡•~•♡•~•♡•~•♡•~•♡•~•♡•~•♡ All To Jesus I Surrender

After death

I see Christians online who believe that when we die, we "soul sleep", to be resurrected at the second coming of Jesus Christ.

Well, I found a verse that makes very clear what happens to our soul when we die.  When we die, our body goes back to the earth and becomes dust and our soul does not sleep with the body in the grave, it goes back to God immediately after death to be with God our Creator for all eternity.  Yay!

and the dust returns to the earth as it once was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.
