Anchorage Baptist Temple

As children of God, we often find ourselves seeking His divine presence, not in a building or a particular place, but in the person of Jesus Christ. Mr. Kobach once encapsulated this beautifully with his statement: "Whereas in the past, God had a temple for His people, today God has a people for His temple."His words echo the scripture in 1 Corinthians 3:16, where Apostle Paul writes: "Do you not know that you yourselves are God's temple, and that God's Spirit dwells in your midst?" And again, in 1 Corinthians 6:19, he reminds us, "Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?"This is not a one-off assertion. In 2 Corinthians 6:16, it is again emphasized, "What agreement can a temple of God have with idols? For we are the temple of the living God. Just as God has said: 'I will dwell with them and walk among them; I will be their God, and they will be My people.'"How profoundly beautiful it is that, as believers in Christ, we bear God's presence
