Why is Jesus referred to as the cornerstone in the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is referred to as the cornerstone because He is the foundation of our faith and the fulfillment of God's redemptive plan.

In Isaiah 28:16, Jesus is described as a cornerstone, symbolizing His critical role in God's plan of salvation. A cornerstone serves as the foundational stone upon which a structure is built, ensuring alignment and strength. Christ fulfills this role as He perfectly matches God's righteous standard and provides a basis for believers' acceptance before God. His work empowers and secures our faith, enabling us to stand firm in our salvation. This concept is reiterated in the New Testament, where both Peter and Paul emphasize Christ's significance as the cornerstone of the Church, making Him essential for spiritual stability and growth.
