What does the Bible say about the Church as the Temple of God?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible depicts the Church as the Temple of God, built with living stones that reflect God's presence and glory.

The Bible refers to the Church as the Temple of God in passages like 1 Corinthians 3:16, where believers are called living stones, constructed through the work of the Holy Spirit. This imagery draws a parallel with Solomon's Temple, emphasizing the spiritual preparation required for membership in the Church. The Church is not a physical structure but a community of believers indwelled by the Holy Spirit, adorned with spiritual gifts and graces that mirror the glory of the Lord.
