What does it mean to be built on the cornerstone?

Answered in 1 source

Being built on the cornerstone means that believers' lives and faith are founded on Jesus Christ, ensuring their security and acceptance before God.

To be built on the cornerstone implies that believers' identities and spiritual lives are constructed upon Jesus Christ as the central support of their faith. 1 Peter 2:5 describes believers as 'lively stones' built into a spiritual house with Jesus as the chief cornerstone. This suggests that their eternal security, acceptance, and relations with God hinge upon the sufficiency and effectiveness of Christ's work. He is not just a part of the building; He is the very foundation that gives the church its structure, purpose, and life.
