How do we know Christ's church is true?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's church is true as it is built on His redemptive work and the teachings of Scripture.

The truth of Christ's church is grounded in its foundation, which is Christ Himself. According to Matthew 16:18, Christ declared, 'I will build my church,' affirming that it is established through His redemptive work and not merely any human institution. The church stands as an organic body, as depicted in Ephesians 4:12, where its ministry is driven by interdependence among believers. True churches will embody characteristics such as adherence to biblical doctrine, love among members, and the proper administration of the sacraments. Ultimately, the Church's authenticity is confirmed through the continuous preaching of the Gospel and the living out of Christ's commands as the body reflects His nature in the world.
