get knowledge of, understand, perceive)
2. Failure to understand this truth leads to misunderstanding your role in life.

3. Failure to understand this truth leads to a misunderstanding of God’s role in your life.

*B.
*You belong to the Lord Jesus Christ (vs.
20a).

You belong to the Lord by right of law.
a) /The law of provision/: (He created provision before the one who needed it.)
/(1) /He created air before man.
/(2) /He created vegetation before animals
/(3) /He created water before fish.
/(4) /He created the cross before Eden.
b) /The law of possession/ (He reserves something in the physical realm to teach us of his possession of all).
(Psalm 50:11-12).
/(1) /He taught it with a tree (Gen.2:16-17)
/(2) /He taught it with a day (Gen.2:2-3)
/(3) /He taught it with a city (Josh.
6:19)

There are two words for “temple” in the NT.

c) This is the one used of the believer’s body (note: John 14:16-17).
*B.
*Your life is marked by God’s continual presence.
