What does the Bible say about the foundation of the church?
Answered in 16 sources
The foundation of the church is Jesus Christ, as Paul stated, 'For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.'
The Bible teaches that the only foundation upon which the church is built is Jesus Christ. The Apostle Paul emphasizes in 1 Corinthians 3:11 that no other foundation can be laid. This foundation is established by God Himself, and it signifies that all aspects of salvation and the church's existence are rooted in the work and person of Christ. He is the cornerstone that ensures the stability and integrity of the entire structure of the church. Without Christ as the foundation, there can be no true church or salvation.
