Why is Christ the cornerstone of our faith?

Answered in 1 source

Christ is the cornerstone of our faith because He is the foundation upon which the Church is built and ensures the salvation of all believers.

Christ as the cornerstone signifies His essential role in the foundation of the faith and the Church. In Matthew 16:18, Jesus declares, 'Upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.' This reveals the strength and security found in Christ. 1 Peter 2:6 reiterates this by calling Christ a 'chief cornerstone, elect, precious,' affirming that those who believe in Him will not be put to shame. This foundation gives believers confidence in their salvation, as they rest in the sufficiency of Christ's completed work.
