How does God build His church according to Psalm 87?

According to Psalm 87 and referenced in the New Testament, God builds His church by bringing together His elect from various nations into His city, Zion. The psalm depicts God's initiative in counting those born in Zion, which corresponds with the New Testament promise that God’s people are gathered through the proclamation of the gospel. Christ stated in Matthew 16:18, 'I will build My church,' indicating that this construction of the church is His divine work facilitated by the Holy Spirit. Through the preaching of the gospel, God invites people to spiritual rebirth, making them members of His church, the body of Christ, where He dwells and manifests His glory.
