How do we know that God meets with His people?

In the Old Testament, God specified that He would meet His people above the mercy seat of the Ark of the Covenant. This was where the cherubim faced each other, symbolizing divine presence and communion (Exodus 25:22). This meeting place signifies the sacredness of God's relationship with His people and points to the mediatorial work of Christ, the ultimate mercy seat (Hebrews 9:5). Through His son, God draws near to us, allowing His people to experience true communion and instruction from Him.
