How do we know Jesus is the Head of the Church?

Answered in 2 sources

Jesus is recognized as the Head of the Church because He possesses all spiritual fullness necessary for the salvation of His people.

The New Testament explicitly describes Christ as the Head of the Church, a concept rooted in His divine nature and His role in salvation. John 3:34 illustrates that Jesus is given the Spirit without measure, indicating His unique authority and sufficiency as the Savior. He embodies all the fullness of the Godhead, which empowers Him to fulfill His purpose as the redeemer of humanity. This fullness is not limited; instead, it is abundant and meant to overflow to His followers, illustrating the depth of His provision for the Church.

Moreover, the organic relationship between Christ and His Church is supported by various passages that examine the significance of His headship. Ephesians 1:22-23 states that God placed all things under Christ's feet and appointed Him to be head over everything for the Church. Hence, Jesus' authority is affirmed through His continuous provision of spiritual blessings and the life-giving presence of the Holy Spirit, empowering believers to live in accordance with God’s will.
