What does the Bible say about the Church as a spiritual house?

Answered in 2 sources

The Church is described as a spiritual house built upon Jesus Christ, the cornerstone, where believers offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God.

In 1 Peter 2:4-6, the Church is depicted as a spiritual house, with Jesus Christ as the living stone and the chief cornerstone. As believers, we are likened to lively stones built upon this foundation, constructed for the purpose of offering spiritual sacrifices to God. This underscores the importance of the Church as a community bound together through faith in Christ, who is disallowed by men yet chosen and precious to God. The foundation of our faith is rooted in God’s grace and His eternal purpose of salvation, highlighting the sovereign grace of God active in the building of His Church.
