How do we know God is growing His church?

Answered in 1 source

We see the growth of the church through its expansion across the globe and changing hearts, aligning with biblical prophecy.

The phenomenon of the church's growth serves as a testament to God's divine action throughout history. Following the resurrection and ascension of Christ, the church began to expand rapidly, as evidenced by accounts in Acts of large numbers coming to faith in a short period, such as 3,000 souls added at Pentecost (Acts 2:41). This growth signifies not just numerical increase but also the transformative power of the gospel in human lives. The church continues to grow today, even amidst challenges, suggesting that God's purpose remains unfulfilled; we anticipate future growth as foretold in Scripture. This ongoing expansion points to the promise that the kingdom of God will ultimately prevail, fulfilling the parable's depiction of a mustard seed turning into a great tree.
