How do we know God is with us today?

In the New Testament, the assurance of God's presence is encapsulated in the person of Jesus Christ, referred to as Emmanuel, meaning 'God with us' (Matthew 1:23). The incarnation of Christ is the ultimate revelation of God's glory, where the fullness of God dwelled in human form (John 1:14). This presence continues today through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in believers, as they are collectively referred to as the body of Christ, or the Church. In Ephesians 2:19-22, Paul explains that God's people are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by His Spirit. Therefore, the presence of God is not confined to a physical location but manifests among His people as they gather in worship and fellowship, reflecting His glory in their lives and testimonies.
