Answered in 2 sources

The church is vital in God's plan as it serves as the instrument through which He fulfills His redemptive purposes.

In the grand narrative of Scripture, the church represents the body of Christ and is central to God's plan for salvation. Isaiah 60 depicts the church glorified and beautified by God's grace, illustrating that it is His chosen vehicle for bringing the gospel to the nations. The church is empowered by Christ, who promises to build and sustain it, ensuring that the gates shall not be shut day or night (Isaiah 60:11). Through the church, God calls His elect, reminding believers of their purpose in proclaiming the good news. This underscores how essential the church is in God's sovereign plan, revealing the depth of His love and commitment to His people, as He actively works through them to reach the world.
