What does the Bible say about the church as the city of God?
Answered in 2 sources
The Bible describes the church as the spiritual city of God, a place where believers are citizens through spiritual birth.
Psalm 87 depicts the church as the city of God, referred to as Zion, representing God's dwelling among His people. This spiritual city is not a physical location but consists of those who belong to Christ, whose foundation is built on Him. As citizens of this eternal city, believers are spiritually reborn, and their identity is tied to this heavenly Jerusalem, which signifies their unity with God and His purposes through Christ.
