How do we know that Christ is building His church?

Answered in 1 source

We know Christ is building His church because He promised in Matthew 16:18 that the gates of Hades will not prevail against it.

The assurance that Christ is building His church is rooted in His promise found in Matthew 16:18, where He states that He will build His church, and nothing, not even the gates of Hades, will be able to overcome it. This promise means that the church's growth and endurance are not dependent on human effort but on divine sovereignty. The early church, as depicted in Acts, exemplifies this truth as it expanded rapidly through the preaching of the gospel and the empowerment of the Holy Spirit. Each conversion and addition to the church reaffirms God's sovereignty and His effective calling of the elect who will respond to His Word.
