Exodus 25:8
And let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them.
Before the fall, Adam walked in the garden with God. But the barrier of sin made that kind of fellowship between Holy God and sinful man no longer possible. But God still sought to dwell among His people. And they painstakingly followed the details for how to construct and furnish this dwelling right down to the kind of thread to be used.
On this side of the cross God's dwelling is within His people. We are reconnected to Him on a personal level once again and can experience a taste of the relationship where He walks with us. But He is no less holy than He was in this Exodus passage I read. And I'm sure today His dwelling place needs to be pure and constructed to His exacting standards just as it was required for Israel.
