What does the Bible say about the church as a spiritual temple?

Answered in 1 source

The church is described in Scripture as the spiritual temple of God, built on Christ as the chief cornerstone.

The New Testament portrays the church as the temple of the living God, a spiritual house built upon the foundation of Christ. As seen in Ephesians 2:19-22, believers are no longer strangers; they are fellow citizens with the saints and are built upon the foundation laid by the apostles and prophets, with Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone. In this spiritual temple, God's presence dwells through the Holy Spirit, making the gathered believers a holy priesthood who are called to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ (1 Peter 2:5).
