How do we know the church is built on Jesus Christ?
Answered in 1 source
The church is built on Jesus Christ as the cornerstone, as affirmed in Scriptures such as Matthew 16:18.
The foundation of the church is explicitly laid in scripture, particularly in Matthew 16:18 where Jesus says, 'Upon this rock I will build my church.' The rock represents Peter's confession of Christ as the Son of God, which signifies who is the ultimate foundation of the church. Throughout the New Testament, Christ is depicted as the cornerstone in Ephesians 2:20, emphasizing that the church is a spiritual house built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Jesus Himself as the chief cornerstone. This foundation is firm and unshakeable, forming the basis for the entire structure, which houses believers united in worship and service to God.
