After God's calling, the human body becomes the temple of God's Spirit, a reality which obliges us to care for our bodies because they belong to God.

We are seeking a permanent dwelling in God's Kingdom. In our on-going sanctification process, we are not yet home, but trudging along the way in our pilgrimage.

A common biblical symbol is the tent or tabernacle like those in which the Israelites dwelt in the wilderness. It has deep, spiritual meanings for God's elect.
