The Church is not merely a building or institution but the Household of God, a spiritual family where God dwells among His people, as Paul emphasizes in 1 Timothy 3:15. Throughout history—from the tabernacle to Solomon’s temple to the prophetic promises—God has desired to dwell with humanity, yet human-built structures and rituals were never sufficient due to sin’s barrier. Ultimately, God fulfilled His promise by becoming man in Jesus Christ, who is both the true Temple and the only way to restore communion with God, making the Church His living dwelling place.
