What does the Bible say about believers being the temple of God?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that believers are the temple of the living God, signifying God's presence within them.

In 2 Corinthians 6:16, Paul emphasizes that believers are the temple of the living God, meaning that God dwells within each of His people. This concept is further reinforced in 1 Corinthians 6:19, where Paul asks, "Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost?" This means that believers are set apart for God's service and that their bodies and spirits belong to Him, thus highlighting their responsibility to live in a manner that glorifies Him. Believers are not just passive dwellings; they actively represent God on earth.
