How do we know Christ is truly present in His Church?

Answered in 1 source

Christ is present in His Church, as He promised to be with His people when they gather in His name (Matthew 18:20).

Christ's presence in His Church is affirmed through scripture, notably in Matthew 18:20, where He assures, 'For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.' This underscores that Jesus is spiritually present among His people during communal worship. The passage speaks to the belief that the Church is 'His garden,' where He actively manifests His grace and mercy. Moreover, congregations are viewed as places where His promises come to life, as through the ministry of the Word, believers are fed and nurtured in faith. Thus, Christ's presence is not merely symbolic; it is a vital and life-giving reality experienced by those who come together in faith.
