Why is the church important in God's plan of salvation?

Answered in 2 sources

The church represents the body of Christ on earth, where God dwells among His people and electronically participates in worship.

The church functions as the living body of Christ on earth, fully essential to the unfolding of God's plan of salvation. In Deuteronomy 12, the significance of worship in a designated place translates to the New Testament understanding that the church is not merely a building but the community of believers who gather in Christ’s name. This gathering becomes sacred as God’s presence rests among His people. The true church is characterized by the preaching of the Word, prayer, and congregational hymn singing, where the faithful seek to glorify God and edify one another, embodying the very life of Christ among them.
