What does the Bible say about the temple of God?

The temple of God, as illustrated in Revelation 11, symbolizes the true people of God who worship in spirit and truth. Historically, the Old Testament temple was a physical location where God met His people through the sacrificial system. However, after the death and resurrection of Christ, the sacrificial system was fulfilled, and now Christ himself personifies our altar. As believers, we are considered the spiritual temple of God; as it states in Ephesians 2:19-22, we are built together for a habitation of God through the Spirit. This means that true communion with God is found in the Gospel, not in physical buildings or rituals.
