How do we know Christ's ownership of the church is true?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's ownership of the church is affirmed through His claims in Scripture and His sacrificial act of redemption for His people.

The assertion of Christ's ownership over the church is rooted in various biblical passages. John 17:6-12 and Acts 20:28 highlight that the church belongs to Christ by divine election and by His redemptive work. This ownership is not merely figurative; it is affirmed through Christ's sacrifice, whereby He purchased the church with His own blood, asserting a unique and indelible bond. The church, thus, is not a mere assembly but a collective body chosen by God and under Christ's sovereign care and governance.
