Consecration and Purification

2 Chronicles 29:15-16

When they had assembled their brothers and consecrated themselves, they went in to purify the temple of the Lord, as the king had ordered, following the word of the Lord. The priests went into the sanctuary of the Lord to purify it. They brought out to the courtyard of the Lord's temple everything unclean that they found in the temple of the Lord. The Levites took it and carried it out to the Kidron Valley.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20

Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.

Andy's part:

The Levites consecrated and sanctified the temple of the LORD by removing everything wicked and filling it with tools to honor God. Your body is a temple to God, and you need to do the same to it.

Catherine's part:

The natural reaction and next step after purification is to worship God, and give Him glory and thanks: (2 Chronicles 29:29-30)

When the offerings were finished, the king and everyone present with him knelt down and worshiped. King Hezekiah and his officials ordered the Levites to praise the Lord with the words of David and of Asaph the seer. So they sang praises with gladness and bowed their heads and worshiped.
