ehold the Bride – The Bride as the Dwelling Place of God: Christ in You, the Hope of Glory

In this episode of Created in the Image of God on Radio Cape Pulpit, host Sylvia Colville continues the "Behold the Bride" series with Episode 4, focusing on the bride as the dwelling place of God. She explains that the ultimate goal of Genesis 1:26—creating humanity in God's image—is fulfilled when Christ is formed in us, making us a dwelling place for the Father and the Son through the Holy Spirit. Drawing from Ephesians 1:3–6, Colossians 1:24–27, Ephesians 2:19–22, and Revelation 3:8–13, she shows how believers are being built together as a holy temple. She also unpacks the vision of the New Jerusalem (Revelation 21), which is described as the bride, the Lamb's wife, and the tabernacle of God dwelling with men. Colville emphasizes that just as God's glory filled the tabernacle and the temple, so His glory will fill us—we are becoming the dwelling place of God, with Christ in us, the hope of glory. The episode closes with a call to overcome, hold fast to His word, and receive the promises given to the faithful church at Philadelphia.
