How do we know that God does not dwell in temples made by hands?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture asserts that God is transcendent and cannot be contained in man-made structures, emphasizing His greatness.

In Acts 7, Stephen quotes the prophet to highlight that the Most High does not dwell in temples made by human hands. This underscores the biblical teaching of God's transcendence—He is sovereign over all creation and cannot be confined to any particular place or structure. The earthly tabernacle and temple served as temporary symbols of God's presence among His people, but they were ultimately insufficient to encapsulate His divine nature. Understanding that God cannot be limited by physical buildings encourages believers to seek Him in spirit and truth rather than through ritualistic practices associated with specific locations.
