What does it mean that the church is the city of God?

Answered in 1 source

The church as the city of God signifies a community indwelt by the Spirit of truth and united in the grace of Christ.

The church is referred to as the city of God because it is composed of believers who gather to worship and proclaim the truth of the gospel. In Zechariah 8, God promises to dwell among His people, marking them as His own. This spiritual city is characterized by peace, safety, and the active presence of God, highlighting how the church is a manifestation of His glory and grace among humanity.
