How does Christ fulfill the role of building God's house?

Answered in 1 source

Christ builds God's house as the seed of David, establishing His kingdom and name forever (2 Samuel 7:13).

In 2 Samuel 7:13, God promises David that His seed will build a house for His name, which directly refers to Christ. This passage connects the Old Testament promise to the New Testament fulfillment in Jesus, who, through His life, death, and resurrection, establishes God's people and kingdom. The work of Christ is pivotal; He builds the spiritual house of God by justifying and redeeming His people, which is central to the covenant of grace. This emphasizes that the honor of building God's house belongs solely to Christ, who manifests God's glory by completing the necessary work of salvation.
