What does the Bible say about the significance of Christ as the cornerstone?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible emphasizes that Christ is the cornerstone of the church and the foundation upon which believers are built (1 Peter 2:6).

In 1 Peter 2, Christ is referred to as the chief cornerstone, chosen and precious. This metaphor signifies that the church is not built on human efforts or ideas, but upon the person and work of Jesus Christ. Peter emphasizes that it is this understanding of who Christ is that forms the foundation of our faith and the church. Both believers and disbelievers are impacted by their response to this cornerstone; to believers, Christ is precious, but to those who do not believe, He becomes a stumbling stone (1 Peter 2:7-8). This division underscores the importance of recognizing Christ's rightful place in the foundation of our faith.
