What does it mean that Christians are a city not forsaken?

Answered in 1 source

Christians, as a city not forsaken, signifies their belonging to the living God and being a part of His eternal kingdom.

The phrase 'a city not forsaken' draws from imagery of the church as the dwelling place of God and a beacon of hope in a fallen world. As referenced in Isaiah 62:12, it reflects God's promise to His people that they are under His protection and favor. The church, as God’s city, represents a collective community gathered in Christ, possessing salvation as their foundation. It serves as a reminder that God will never abandon His people, resonating with His eternal commitment. The city metaphor conveys safety, belonging, and divine purpose—believers are not only part of a community but also bear witness to God’s light in a world filled with darkness.
