What does it mean to have a strong city in God?

Answered in 1 source

Having a strong city in God symbolizes the security and refuge believers find in His salvation and divine protection.

The concept of a 'strong city' as described in Isaiah 26 refers to the security and refuge that God provides for His people through salvation. In biblical terms, this city is not of earthly construct but signifies the church of God and the kingdom of God, which is built and sustained by divine power. Hebrews 13:14 reminds us that we have no enduring city here, but our true home and security are found in God's salvific work. This is further explained through the imagery of a city with strong walls and bulwarks—representing God's protection—where He safeguards His people against the enemies of sin and despair. Therefore, the believer's confidence stems from knowing they are secure in the salvation provided by Christ, who is both their refuge and source of strength.
