“豈不知你們的身子就是聖靈的殿嗎？這聖靈是從神而來，住在你們裏頭的，並且你們不是自己的人，因為你們是重價買來的，所以要在你們的身子上榮耀神。”（林前六：19，20）
在這兒你已經答覆了聖靈對我有什麼期望的問題，你的身子是祂的殿，神的殿本是聖潔的，供人事奉神而用，所以你不再是屬於自己的人，沒有自己喜好的權利，你是基督用祂寶血的重價買來的，所以聖靈在你身上有絕對的主權，所以你要用屬神的身子和靈魂來榮耀祂。聖靈是神聖潔的靈，他來了要使我聖潔，祂期望我完全順服祂。
由於反覆思想這些話，使我清楚的領悟聖靈與我之間的關係，祂在我身上有權柄，祂要我這被基督寶血的重價買來人，在凡事上討祂喜悅，跟隨祂的引導。我是屬於父神，也屬於主耶穌，所以必須向聖靈顯示出我的好行為，凡事順服祂的引導，祂在我身上有完全的主權，祂每早晨等著我對祂說：“主啊！請說！僕人敬聽，我降伏在祢面前，隨時順服祢在我裏的指示。”祂期望我完全的順服。
此外祂還期望我時常親近祂，每天要花時間，更新祂和我之間的關係，我整個生命降伏在祂面前，祂也把在榮耀裏的完全帶給我。
祂也期望我靠著祂加給我的力量，做耶穌基督的見證，領我周圍的人歸向主耶穌。聖靈期望我這用重價買來的身子可以成為神的殿，不斷用來敬拜頌讚父神和耶穌基督。
“Know ye not that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which ye have from God? and ye are not your own; for ye are bought with a price: glorify God, therefore, in your body.” – 1 COR. vi. I9,20.
Here you have the reply to the question: What does the Spirit expect of me? Your body is His temple. The temple of God is holy, devoted to His service. You are not your own, you have no right to please yourself. You have been dearly bought with the blood of Christ. The Spirit has absolute right to your whole life. Therefore you must glorify God in your body and your spirit, which are God’s. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God’s holiness, He comes to make me holy. He expects me to obey Him fully.
Let me dwell upon these words that I may comprehend clearly what the relationship must be between the Spirit and me, and what it is He has a right to expect of me. He asks that I, as one dearly bought with the blood of Christ, and no longer my own, shall seek in all things to please Him and to follow His leading. All that I owe to God, and to the Lord Jesus, must be shown in my conduct towards the Holy Spirit. I must in all things be guided by Him, for as God He has absolute right to me. He expects me to say each morning, “Speak, Lord, Thy servant heareth, I yield myself to obey the prompting of Thy voice within me.” He expects absolute obedience.
Furthermore He expects that I shall keep in close touch with Him by taking time each day to renew the bond between Him and me. My whole life must be yielded to Him, that He may bring to perfection in me all His glorious fruits.
He also expects that in His strength I shall witness for Jesus Christ, and consider it my work to help to bring the souls around me to the Lord Jesus. The Spirit expects that my body, which has been dearly bought, shall be a temple of God from which adoration and praise to God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ shall continually arise.
