Why is believing in Christ as the cornerstone important for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Believing in Christ as the cornerstone is essential for assurance and stability in faith, providing a true refuge from judgment.

The belief in Christ as the cornerstone is vital for Christians because it provides a firm and unchanging foundation for their faith. As described in Isaiah 28:16, those who believe in Him shall not be forced out; this illustrates the security and permanence that comes with true faith. In a world full of uncertainties and false refuges, the assurance that salvation stands firm upon the person and work of Christ gives believers peace amidst trials.

Furthermore, Christ being a tried and precious cornerstone means that He has been tested, and has proven to be reliable. His faithfulness was established through His obedience to the Law and His sacrificial death, which fulfilled the covenant of grace. Consequently, trusting in Him not only grants salvation but also assures believers of their eternal security, as denoted in John 10:27-29, where Jesus promises that His sheep will never perish and cannot be taken from His hand.
