Christ – The Scriptural Foundation

When Christ built His one and only exclusive church in Acts 2, He built it upon the correct scriptural foundation. this foundation is the scripture and the Christ Himself.

The Bible teaches that Christ acts as the foundation for the entire church. this is mentioned from the old testament prophecy to the words of Christ himself.

Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief corner stone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.

Ephesians 2:19-22

Here the Bible simply and plainly teaches that Christ is the chief cornerstone of the foundation of the household of God.

He alone was the one on whom the church could have been built.

Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.

Isaiah 28:16

This is an explicit Old Testament Prophecy concerning Christ the cornerstone of the church. Let’s look at one more.

22 The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner. This is the Lord’s doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.

Psalm 118:22-23

The bible teaches that Christ is not only the builder of the kingdom of God, but He is also the very foundation upon which that kingdom is built.
