How do we know that Christ knows His church?

Answered in 1 source

Christ knows His church intimately, understanding its works, struggles, and spiritual conditions.

In Revelation 2:9, Christ states, 'I know thy works and tribulation and poverty.' This reveals His keen awareness and intimate knowledge of the church's condition. He sees the trials they face and recognizes their efforts in faith, emphasizing that no work goes unnoticed by Him. This assurance comforts believers, reminding them that their struggles are known to Christ, who is both aware of their burdens and promises to provide hope and strength. The Lord’s acknowledgment of their situation underscores His role as the Shepherd who cares deeply for each member of His body, reinforcing the idea that His knowledge brings both encouragement and accountability.
