As ____ of the Holy Spirit, the disciples in the Upper Room were filled with the presence of God.

• A. Temples
• B. Vessels
• C. Hosts
• D. Chambers

Answer: (A)

The important idea here is that believers are described as the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit. When the disciples were filled with the Holy Spirit in the Upper Room, God’s presence came to reside in them as individuals who carry Him with them. The image of being a temple of the Holy Spirit captures that intimate, living presence—the Spirit dwelling inside believers and empowering them for witness and service. The term temples is the standard biblical phrase for this relationship, highlighting sacredness and habitation by God.

Vessels, hosts, and chambers don’t carry the same established sense of God dwelling within people. Vessels can be a generic container image, hosts suggests being a host to others, and chambers implies a room or space rather than a person’s inner life. The temple metaphor best conveys the reality of the Holy Spirit dwelling in and filling believers.
