Leviticus 26:1-13
God’s prominent purpose behind creation, salvation, and recreation is that He will have a people among whom He can dwell now and forever! As a covenant-making God, He is particularly faithful those who join themselves to Him in repentance, faith, and obedience. In this way, we as His people become the temple in which God dwells by His Spirit here on earth! And after Jesus returns, we will dwell with Him and He with us throughout eternity!
And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.”
-- Revelation 21:3
