Being of the house of God means belonging to His covenant family, recognized as His children and secure in His grace.
To be of the house of God implies participation in a divine family characterized by acceptance, love, and commitment to God's ordinances. As Isaiah proclaims in 56:5, God welcomes all believers into His dwelling, offering a name and a place that is more honored than that of earthly lineage. This concept resonates throughout Scripture, where believers are seen as children of God (John 1:12) and members of His body, the church (1 Corinthians 12:27). Our identity and security are derived from being part of this holy house, ensuring that we are nurtured and protected by the Lord as He guides us in our faith journey.
