What does the Bible say about God's dwelling with His people?

Answered in 1 source

God dwells with His people through faith and the Holy Spirit, as shown in 2 Samuel 7:8-9.

In 2 Samuel 7, God graciously communicates to David about His desire to dwell among His people. He reminds David that He has not dwelt in a house but has walked with them in a tent. This imagery illustrates God's condescension and His intention to reside with humanity. Ultimately, this culminates in the incarnation of Christ, who took on human flesh and dwelt among us, thus becoming the ultimate presence of God among His people. Now, He continues to dwell with us through faith and in our hearts by the Holy Spirit, confirming our relationship with Him.
