Why is Mt. Sion significant for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Mount Sion represents the place of God's presence and the privileges of the new covenant enjoyed by believers in Christ.

Mount Sion, as described in Hebrews, symbolizes the spiritual reality and blessings that believers now possess through faith in Christ. Unlike the terrifying mountain of Sinai, which represented the strict and fearsome nature of the law, Sion signifies the grace and favor of God. It is associated with God's eternal dwelling, the Gospel's promise of salvation, and the new relationship afforded to believers, who are now acutely aware of their access to divine grace and communion with God’s angels. This spiritual Sion offers a vivid reminder of the privileges believers have as the church, the true assembly gathered to worship within His kingdom.
