How do we know God's choice of Zion is true?

The assertion that the Lord chose Zion is supported by multiple scriptural references including Psalms and the narrative in 2 Samuel. God’s decision to make Zion His dwelling place is not random; it reflects His sovereign grace and intention to inhabit what was once a stronghold of rebellion. The transformation of Zion from a place of derision, previously inhabited by the Jebusites, to a symbol of divine presence underscores His power to redeem and claim for Himself a people who were once in defiance. This act of choosing illustrates the gospel narrative where God desires to be among His people and facilitate their worship.
