What Scripture teaches about God’s presence?

Answered in 1 source

God's presence is promised in Scripture to dwell in the hearts of believers, during public worship, and through His word.

The concept of God's presence is multifaceted in Scripture. Jesus assures in Matthew 18:20, 'For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them,' emphasizing His promised presence among His people. Furthermore, Ephesians 3:17 articulates that Christ dwells in the hearts of believers by faith, illustrating an intimate, personal relationship. Additionally, in the Old Testament, God promised to meet with His people at the mercy seat, symbolizing the place where He communes with them (Exodus 25:22). Thus, believers can rest assured that God actively dwells among His people through His word, in communal worship, and in their very hearts.
