His House

God is building His spiritual house of "holiness", a place where those in His Spirit are set apart from the spirit of the world.  

This house is being built by the fruit of His own Spirit rather than the elements of the world.  God's house is a place where His sons and daughters can enjoy a sanctuary of spiritual rest even in the midst of a troubled and perverted world.   

His house is primarily different in its nature rather than its appearance.  Those who are being built into this spiritual house are givers rather than takers.   

They are more willing to lose and be wronged rather than defend themselves and their possessions.  

The house God is building is a generation of sons and daughters who are being transformed from their former carnal natures into the image of His own pure spiritual life.  

The physical differences can be so varied as to prevent all attempts to adequately define them, but the spiritual qualities common among those who are part of His house are found everywhere He is building.
