How do we know that Christ is present with His churches?
Answered in 1 source
Christ's presence in His churches is assured by His promise to be with them wherever they gather, as stated in Matthew 18:20.
The presence of Christ with His churches is a foundational doctrine for believers. In Matthew 18:20, Christ promises, 'For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.' This underscores the profound truth that Christ not only observes His church but actively ministers among them. Additionally, Revelation 2 reveals Him walking among the candlesticks, which represent the churches, signifying His intimate involvement and oversight. Thus, believers can rest assured that wherever His people come together in faith, He is actively present, guiding and strengthening them through His Spirit and Word.
