God With Us

WEBKJVBSBESVNKJVNASBNLT

The story of God making his home with humanity.

God walks with Adam in the garden; he tents among Israel in the tabernacle; his glory fills the temple; then "the Word became flesh and dwelt among us" — Immanuel, God with us; he pours out his Spirit to indwell his people; and the Bible closes with the promise, "Behold, the dwelling of God is with man."
