What does the Bible say about where God dwells?

Answered in 3 sources

The Bible teaches that God dwells in a high and holy place with those who are humble and contrite in spirit (Isaiah 57:15).

The Bible reveals that God, the high and lofty One, dwells not only in the heavens but also with those who possess a humble and contrite spirit. Isaiah 57:15 states this beautifully, affirming that God revives the hearts of the humble. This intimate relationship exemplifies the grace of God, which transforms and sanctifies our hearts, making them suitable for His presence. It is through the working of the Holy Spirit that believers are made aware of their need for grace and the significance of God's dwelling within them.

Moreover, the New Testament further assures us of God's abiding presence. Jesus promised that He and the Father would make their home with those who love Him (John 14:23). The Holy Spirit is given to believers as a permanent companion, ensuring that we are never truly alone. This concept is crucial as it emphasizes that genuine communion with God is rooted in humility and the acknowledgment of our reliance upon His grace.
