What does the Bible say about the church as God's house?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that the church is a house for God's name, symbolizing His presence among His people.

According to 1 Kings 8:20-21, Solomon built a house for the name of the Lord God of Israel, which exemplifies the church as a dwelling place for God's name. This concept is further emphasized throughout Scripture, illustrating that the people of God collectively constitute His house or temple. It is essential to recognize that the true church, as God's temple, is built by the Lord Himself, as stated in Psalm 127:1, 'Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it.' As such, the church must be a space for God's glory and honor, centered on Christ, who is the chief cornerstone.
