What does the Bible say about shrine?

Bible Topic · WEB

The Bible warns against shrines as places of idolatry, calling people instead to worship the one true God through Jesus Christ. In Acts 19:24, Demetrius profited by making silver shrines of Artemis, and the gospel threatened this trade because it exposed the emptiness of man-made gods. Scripture consistently forbids images and religious objects treated as divine or as necessary mediators to God. Under the new covenant, believers do not need sacred sites or crafted shrines to draw near to God, for Christ is our true mediator and His people are His temple. Christians should honor God with reverent worship shaped by His Word, not human invention.
