Welcome to a new Bible Study about The True Purpose of GOD’S Sanctuary:

Let’s reason and take an inspiring verse by verse look in the marvelous, righteous Word of GOD, about “The True Purpose of GOD’S Sanctuary“, followed with a Summary and Prayer.

The Bible highlights and speaks extensively about the importance and sanctity of GOD’S sanctuary, emphasizing its role as a place of worship, reverence, and community. Here are several passages from the King James Version (KJV) that illustrate how the LORD almighty desires His sanctuary to be used and proclaimed:

1. Purpose of GOD’S Sanctuary:

“And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.” (Exodus 25:8)

 This verse highlights the primary purpose of the sanctuary: it is a dwelling place for GOD among His people. GOD desires intimacy and fellowship with His creation.

2. A Place of Worship and Praise:

“O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.”
(Psalm 96:9)

The sanctuary is to be a place of true holy worship, where GOD’S people come not only to sing praises but also to honor His holiness.

3. Proclaiming His Name:

“Sing unto the LORD, all the earth; shew forth from day to day His salvation. Declare His glory among the heathen, His marvellous works among all nations.” (1 Chronicles 16:23-24)

 In the sanctuary, true believers are called to declare GOD’S glory and share His salvation, making it a focal point for evangelism and testimony.

4. A House of Prayer:

“And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.”Matthew 21:13“

 The LORD desires His sanctuary to be a place centered on prayer, communion with Him, and sincere seeking of His divine will.

5. Teaching and Discipleship:

“Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.”(Luke 19:46)

 The sanctuary serves as a teaching ground for discipleship where believers grow in the knowledge of GOD’S marvelous, righteous Word and truth.

6. A Community of Believers:

“Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.” (Hebrews 10:25)

 The sanctuary is vital for community and fellowship, strengthening believers in their faith through mutual encouragement and support.

7. Holiness and Reverence:

“Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.” (Psalm 29:2)

 GOD’S desire is for His sanctuary to reflect His holiness, inspiring believers to approach Him with reverence and awe.

8. Invitation to All:

“Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.” (Isaiah 56:7)

The LORD’S sanctuary is inclusive, welcoming all who seek Him, emphasizing the universal invitation to come and worship His truth glorious, fulfilling name.

Let’s summarize the purpose of GOD’S sanctuary:
