Answered in 1 source
God's design guarantees that the church is built according to His eternal purpose and plan, ensuring that each believer is included without error.
God's meticulous design in constructing the church is evident throughout Scripture. Just as the construction of Solomon's temple involved detailed guidance from the Lord, so too does the church's establishment follow His divine blueprint. Ephesians 2:20-22 illustrates that the church is built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Himself as the cornerstone. This divine orchestration assures that all who are called and chosen to be part of the church are designed perfectly for their roles. Each living stone has been prepared according to God's predestined plan, and therefore, the church will ultimately be completed with no member missing, standing as a testament to His glory and grace.
