What did Jesus mean by saying 'the gates of hell shall not prevail against it'?

Answered in 1 source

'The gates of hell shall not prevail against it' assures believers that the church will stand against all evil.

When Jesus states in Matthew 16:18 that 'the gates of hell shall not prevail against it,' He provides a profound assurance to His followers regarding the invincibility of His church. This promise signifies that despite opposition and persecution, the church, built on the truth of Jesus Christ, will endure. It emphasizes the sovereignty of God in preserving His people and His purpose through Christ, ensuring the ultimate victory over sin and death.
