An Earthly Home

So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit. — Ephesians 2:19-22

Summary

The focus of our home now on earth is not where we are, but who we’re with. God designed the church to be a home on earth for His adopted children. And He designed us together to be a dwelling place for Him, where He shows His presence in a powerful way.
