Why rebuild the walls?
Nehemiah wanted to rebuild the walls to protect where the Spirit of God resided (The Temple) for God’s Glory.
Likewise we need to protect where the Spirit of God resides today within us.

- only part of the wall or gate that was consecrated
- the only gate designated for the atonement or forgiveness of sins
