Why is the obedience of Christ significant in building the church?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's obedience is pivotal as it fulfilled all righteousness necessary for God’s covenant with humanity, ensuring the church's foundation is secure.

The obedience of Christ is crucial in the context of building the church because it serves as the foundation for all that believers hope and trust in. In 1 Kings 6:12-13, the blessings upon Solomon's temple were contingent upon his obedience to God's commandments. Similarly, Christ manifested perfect obedience through His life and sacrificial death, fulfilling God's law entirely. This obedience is instrumental in fulfilling God’s covenant promise, as stated in Isaiah 28:16, where God lays a cornerstone in Zion. His perfect righteousness is ascribed to those who believe, thus establishing the church in grace instead of works, ensuring that the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
