How do we know the true church will prevail?

Answered in 1 source

The true church will prevail because of Christ's promise that the gates of hell will not overcome it.

The assurance of the true church's victory lies in the promise of Christ in Matthew 16:18, where He declares that the gates of hell shall not prevail against His church. This unwavering security is rooted in Christ's authority and power as the builder of the church. Despite opposition from the world, the flesh, and the devil, the true church is preserved by God’s sovereign grace. Throughout history, while visible churches may rise and fall, the true church—composed of authentic believers—remains intact, demonstrating the truth of Christ's promise and His commitment to safeguard His people until the end.
