What does the Bible say about the protection of the church?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible portrays the church as an enclosed garden, protected by God from external threats.

The church is referred to as a 'garden enclosed' in Song of Solomon 4:12, demonstrating God's protective care over His people. Just as an enclosed garden keeps out unwanted animals and intruders, the church is safeguarded by the sovereign power of God. Scripture affirms this protection in various passages, reminding us that God encompasses His people and shields them from harm. For example, Isaiah 5:1-2 depicts God as the gardener who has fenced His vineyard, ensuring its safety. This imagery reinforces the idea that God not only calls His people but also watches over them diligently.
