What do the stones represent in the Bible?

Stones in Scripture often serve as memorials and reminders of God's faithfulness and His miraculous works. For example, in Joshua 4, the Israelites set up stones from the Jordan River to remember how God stopped the waters to allow them to cross. These stones symbolize God's steadfastness, His covenant with His people, and testify to His miraculous intervention in their lives. As believers, we are also likened to lively stones (1 Peter 2:5), indicating that we are part of God's spiritual house, built on Christ, the cornerstone.
