How is the church built according to Scripture?

Answered in 1 source

The church is built through conversions, as believers come to Christ, the living stone, who is the foundation.

The construction of the church is depicted in 1 Peter 2:4-5, where believers are called to come to Jesus Christ, referred to as the 'living stone.' This 'coming' signifies faith and belief, aligning with John 6:35, which equates coming to Christ with believing in Him. As individuals come to faith, they are incorporated into the church, the spiritual house God is building. The church grows as new believers are added, reflecting the dynamic nature of spiritual life and the importance of evangelism and discipleship within the Christian community. This process emphasizes the work of the Holy Spirit in drawing people to Christ and transforming lives.
