What does it mean that God will dwell with His people?

Answered in 1 source

God dwelling with His people signifies an eternal communion where we are united with Him, free from sin and sorrow.

In Revelation 21:3, we are promised, 'Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people.' This promise reflects the heart of God's covenant relationship with His people—it points to a future where God's presence will be fully experienced. Unlike our current experience of His presence through the Holy Spirit, in eternity we will have direct communion with God, without any barrier of sin and sorrow. This means that we will experience complete peace, joy, and intimacy with our Creator forever. This ultimate fellowship is a central hope for Christians, emphasizing the restoration of our relationship with God as He wipes away every tear and banishes death and pain from our experience.
