What is the role of Christ in building the church?

Answered in 1 source

Christ is the primary builder of the church, actively calling and sustaining believers through His power.

In the work of building the church, Christ plays a central role as the supreme builder and architect. He calls, cleanses, and equips every member of His church through His grace and power. As stated in the sermon, Christ not only initiates the work but also sustains it through the actions of the Holy Spirit. This entails a personal relationship with each believer, where Christ provides the necessary strength and guidance for them to grow in faith. While various means such as the ministry of the gospel and Scripture circulate the message, it is Christ alone who effectively builds His church, ensuring that every stone is placed according to His divine plan.
