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

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible affirms that 'the Lord dwelleth in Zion,' emphasizing God's intimate presence among His people.

In Joel 3:21, the significant declaration 'for the Lord dwelleth in Zion' highlights the profound truth that God resides among His people. This presence is not distant or detached; rather, it signifies an intimate relationship, where God is actively involved in the lives of His people. Throughout Scripture, we see this theme of God's dwelling with His people, illustrated by the tabernacle in the Old Testament, which symbolized God living amidst the Israelites during their wilderness journey. Similarly, in the New Testament, Christ is referred to as Emmanuel, which means 'God with us', underscoring the closeness of God to humanity.
