Why is it said that the gates of hell will not prevail against Christ's church?

Answered in 1 source

The gates of hell cannot prevail against Christ's church because He defeated every enemy through His death and resurrection.

The assertion that the gates of hell shall not prevail against the church, as stated in Matthew 16:18, emphasizes that Christ’s redemptive work secures the church's victory over sin and death. This declaration serves as an assurance that, despite challenges, the church, built upon Christ as its foundation, is protected by His power. The victory is not merely defensive, but offensive, as it speaks of the church advancing against the darkness of the world. This total triumph in Christ assures believers that nothing can separate them from His love or thwart the plan of God regarding His people, solidifying our hope in His sovereignty.
