Is your tabernacle holy? Numbers 1-4

Numbers 4:15 (NASBStr)

When Aaron and his sons have finished covering the holy objects and all the furnishings of the sanctuary, when the camp is to set out, after that the sons of Kohath shall come to carry them, so that they will not touch the holy objects and die. These are the things in the tent of meeting which the sons of Kohath are to carry.

Numbers 4:19 (NASBStr)

But do this to them that they may live and not die when they approach the most holy objects:Aaron and his sons shall go in and assign each of them to his work and to his load;

The concept of respect for holy things is somewhat lost on the world today.   Granted, the church building, today, should never be regarded as "The Church.  The Church is the collective body of believers indwelt by the Holy Spirit and has never meet as a group on this earth.    However, here, in these passages, the temple is the place that God is to dwell.  And, since He is dwelling there, the articles of the Tabernacle are to be treated as holy ... the very articles of God.   Aaron and his sons, the priestly line, were to go into the Tabernacle first and cover the holy things.  Then, and only then, could the Levites do their work of carrying the items.  They were allowed to touch them, but not look at them.   Aaron and his sons would cover them with the appropriate cloth and coverings.   God took great care in the construction of the Tabernacle and took great care into who would see what and who would cover what.   The respect for God's design and His place should not be missed.   God is holy and even the artifacts of that holiness should be understood and respected.  When God indwells the Tabernacle, as He did, that made the place special.   It was to be treated special.   The same holds true today of the Temple of God ... our bodies!!  We are God's dwelling place via the Holy Spirit.  God indwells us and we should be careful what we do with that place.  Paul told us on many occasions to not corrupt the temple of God (1 Corinthians).   God has chosen to reside in our lives and since that is true we ought not contaminate it with the sins of this world.   God is holy and He wants us to handle our bodies with the same care the Levites did for the Tabernacle.
