How do we know Christ is the foundation of the church?

Answered in 2 sources

Christ is established as the foundation of the church through scripture, particularly in Matthew 16:18, where He declares, 'I will build my church.'

The foundation of the church is fundamentally rooted in the person and work of Christ. In Matthew 16:18, Jesus proclaims that upon this rock—referring to Himself—He will build His church, affirming that no other foundation can be laid (1 Corinthians 3:11). Paul's assertion that he preached Christ crucified further emphasizes that the cornerstone of the church is not merely doctrine or tradition but the transformative work of Jesus. The scriptures highlight that effective building upon this foundation requires adherence to God's Word, which provides the guidance for growth and sanctification within the church community.
