The chapter's second main claim is that God now dwells in His people, making them the temple and bringing all flesh into the Kingdom's life. Religious systems, in this view, are obsolete because access to God is already open through the Spirit.

The Argument

  • The Spirit has already been poured out on all flesh.
  • Believers are already the dwelling place of God, not people awaiting a new temple.
  • Knowing God is now inward and universal, not mediated by religious hierarchy.

Key Scriptures

  • Acts 2:17
  • Ephesians 2:18
  • Jeremiah 31:34
  • 1 John 2:27
  • John 14:26

Over to You

If YOU are the temple and the Spirit is already in everyone, what do we need religious systems for?
