How do we know God cares for His church?

Answered in 2 sources

We know God cares for His church as He is described as the husbandman, diligently tending to the needs of His vineyard.

The care of God for His church is evidenced in His role as the husbandman, a theme vividly illustrated in John 15:1. This is more than a mere title; it indicates God's dedicated involvement in the lives of His people. As the husbandman prunes and nurtures, God actively shapes His church, ensuring that it grows in grace and truth.

Furthermore, His care is manifest through the means of grace He provides: the Scriptures, the sacraments, and the work of the Holy Spirit. Just as a farmer nurtures each plant, God ensures that each member of His church receives everything necessary for spiritual growth. His attention to the church elicits confidence and strength in believers, reminding them of His faithful love and commitment to their sanctification.
