What does the Bible say about God dwelling among His people?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that God dwells among His people, making them His sanctuary and dominion, as seen in Psalm 114.

In Psalm 114, it is expressed that Judah was God's sanctuary and Israel His dominion, highlighting the relationship God has with His people. This symbolism articulates how God identifies with His people, treating them as a sacred dwelling where He resides. Furthermore, in the New Testament, believers are affirmed as the temple of God, indwelt by Christ, showcasing the ongoing fulfillment of God’s promise to dwell among His chosen ones. This theme indicates that we are sanctified and set apart for Him, as seen in 1 Corinthians 6:19, which states, 'Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit'. Hence, the indwelling of God signifies not only His presence but His sovereignty over our lives.
