How does Jesus being the cornerstone relate to salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus, as the cornerstone, is central to salvation and the foundation of the Christian faith.

In the parable, Jesus references Psalm 118:22 to explain His role as the cornerstone, indicating that the very foundation of the Christian faith rests on Him. The cornerstone is the first stone set in the construction of a building, and it determines the structure's alignment and stability. Jesus fulfills this role in God's redemptive plan as the only basis for salvation (Acts 4:11-12). By rejecting Christ, the builders failed to recognize the source of true life and righteousness. Thus, salvation is found solely in Christ—the cornerstone—highlighting His essential role in reconciling humanity to God. For believers, acknowledging Jesus as the cornerstone affirms their identity and purpose within the body of Christ and emphasizes the importance of being firmly rooted in Him.
