How do we know that believers are part of the temple of God?

Answered in 1 source

Believers are part of the temple of God as they are chosen, redeemed, and made living stones collectively for His dwelling (1 Peter 2:5).

The evidence that believers are part of the temple of God is found in Scripture, particularly in 1 Peter 2:5, which identifies believers as living stones being built up as a spiritual house. This signifies that individual believers are integrally connected as part of a collective whole, contributing to the structure of God's temple. The church is composed of those who have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit, illustrating that each believer plays a significant role in the body of Christ, which collectively constitutes God's dwelling place on earth. Thus, it affirms the communal aspect of salvation and the importance of unity within the church.
