How do we know that Jesus is the head of the church?

Answered in 2 sources

Jesus is recognized as the head of the church through Scripture, which affirms His authority over all believers.

The concept of Christ as the head of the church is foundational in New Testament theology. Colossians 1:18 states, 'And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.' This verse, along with other passages like Ephesians 1:22-23, reinforces the truth that Jesus exercises authority and governance over the church. As members of His Body, believers are called to submit to His leadership, reflecting the unity and purpose of the church under His lordship.
