Answered in 1 source

The Bible describes the church as the new Jerusalem, symbolizing a free, righteous nation under Christ's lordship.

The concept of the new Jerusalem, as depicted in the New Testament, particularly in Galatians 4:26, relates to the church as the spiritual Israel, characterized by freedom and righteousness. This Jerusalem above is described as the mother of all believers, indicating that all who are in Christ belong to this holy city. The imagery of the new Jerusalem signifies the collective body of believers who are united with Christ and enjoy the blessings of His salvation. Furthermore, the church, referred to as the 'righteous nation' in Isaiah 26, is under divine protection, surrounded by God's salvation and called to uphold His truth, thus embodying the essence of the new Jerusalem.
