How do we know that loving the house of God is important for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Loving God's house signifies a believer's desire for communion with Him and His people, marking their faith and commitment.

David states in Psalm 26:8, "Lord, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth." This love illustrates the pivotal role that the gathered people of God play in the believer's life. It’s not about merely attending a building but cherishing the community where God's presence and honor are manifested. In the New Testament, the church is referred to as the body of Christ, with each member being a vital part of that body. This spiritual connection urges Christians to cultivate a deep-seated affection for the gathering of the saints, which serves as both a source of strength and a platform for worship. Loving the house of God reflects a believer's heart for God and His purposes.
