How do we know that the Church is significant in God's plan?

Answered in 1 source

The Church is significant as it is described as God's chosen habitation and the fulfilling of His promises.

The significance of the Church in God’s plan is underscored in Psalm 132, which depicts Zion as the chosen dwelling for the Lord. This selection highlights the Church's role as the continued presence of God among His people. In establishing the Church, God assures believers of His ongoing provision, not just materially but spiritually, as it's through the Church that the faithful gather to worship and grow in grace. Therefore, understanding the Church's importance requires recognizing it as a fulfillment of God's redemptive work through history—a metaphor embodied in the Ark of the Covenant, which foreshadows the presence of Christ among His people. This reveals that our participation in the Church is not merely communal but integral to God's overarching narrative of salvation.
