How do we know the Church is God's chosen vineyard?
Answered in 1 source
The Church is affirmed as God's chosen vineyard through biblical declarations stating that He has specifically planted and nurtured His people.
We know the Church is God's chosen vineyard because Scripture explicitly states that God Himself is the Husbandman who plants and cares for His vineyard. In John 15:1, Jesus identifies Himself as the true vine, implying that the Church is composed of branches that must remain connected to Him for nourishment and growth. Additionally, passages like Isaiah 5:7 clarify that the vineyard represents the people of Israel, which extends to the New Testament Church as the continuation of God's covenant people. This divine planting signifies that Christians are not a product of random chance but rather handpicked and cultivated by God for His glory and purpose.
