How do we know that Jesus is the cornerstone of our faith?
Answered in 2 sources
The Bible affirms Jesus as the cornerstone through various scriptures that establish Him as the foundation of our faith and inheritance.
The sermon asserts Jesus Christ as the cornerstone or 'datum' of our faith, establishing this through scriptural references like Ephesians 1:4-5, which states we were chosen in Him before the foundation of the world. This underscores the centrality of Christ in God's eternal plan and the significance of understanding that our election and predestination are found in Him. By validating Christ as the point from which all understanding of faith flows, this teaching aligns with Reformed theology, emphasizing that all aspects of salvation and grace are rooted in His work and identity.
