T. Austin-Sparks emphasizes the urgent call for holiness as expressed by the prophets, contrasting the old and new dispensations. He highlights how the early church was challenged to move beyond traditional mindsets and embrace the revolutionary work of the Holy Spirit, which requires a deep commitment to holiness. The tragic example of Ananias and Sapphira illustrates the severe consequences of unholiness, as their deceit brought spiritual death and arrested the work of the Spirit. Sparks urges believers to confront their own unholiness and recognize the broader implications of their actions on the community and God's purposes. Ultimately, he calls for a sincere pursuit of holiness, aligning with the nature of Christ, to avoid the peril of spiritual stagnation.

Zac Poonen emphasizes that God desires to dwell in homes characterized by peace, humility, and holiness. He explains that a true sanctuary is not just a physical structure but a place where God's glory is present, which is often absent in homes filled with conflict and material concerns. Poonen highlights the importance of being contrite and lowly in spirit, focusing on personal shortcomings rather than the failures of others. He also stresses that holiness should permeate every aspect of life, not just during religious activities, but in daily actions and interactions. Ultimately, a home should be a sanctuary where Jesus feels at home, reflecting His presence in all that is done there.

T. Austin-Sparks preaches on the spiritual temple revealed to Ezekiel, symbolizing God's intention for His people to be His dwelling place, starting from Adam to Christ, the first of the new humanity. The failure of Adam and Israel's temple stemmed from a lack of heart fellowship with God by faith. The key to recovery lies in humility of heart, as seen in the life of the last Adam, Jesus, who emptied Himself to provide a home for God. The Church, as the house of God, must be governed by the same laws of humility that ruled Christ's life, ensuring mutual dependence and God-centeredness.
