I have sanctified this house

1 Kings 9:3 And the LORD said unto him, I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, that thou hast made before me: I have hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever; and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there.

In first of King chapter 9 verse 3, Solomon receives an answer to the prayer he made to Jehovah for the building of the temple, now what does this represent? That Solomon is a figure of Jesus Christ resurrected and that we are that temple that he builds:

1 Corinthians 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

If first of Corinthians chapter 3 verse 16 tells us that we are the temple of God therefore someone built us, who built us is called Jesus Christ by believing in Him.

When Jesus Christ comes into our lives, presents us before God as a temple and intercedes for us so that we may be heard before God and that His presence may be in us, when Jesus Christ does this the Father answers Him according to his prayer and supplication. 

Romans 8:34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is rise again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also taketh intercession for us.

What the Father answers about us is that he sanctifies us to put his name in us, and his eyes and heart may be in us every day.

1 Kings 9:3 And the LORD said unto him, I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, that thou hast made before me: I have hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever; and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually.
1 Corinthians 6:11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
