The foundation of the church is believing that Jesus Christ is what the bible tells us he is.

1 Timothy 3:16

Matthew 27:51 

“The veil kept people off from drawing near to the most holy place in the temple.  But the rending of it signified that Christ by his death opened a way to God, He died, to bring us to God, and, in order thereunto, to rend that veil of guilt and wrath which interposed between us and him, to take away the cherubim and flaming sword, and to open the way to the tree of life. We have free access through Christ to the throne of grace, or mercy-seat, now, and to the throne of glory hereafter.  “

(Commentary by Matthew Henry)

In Christ, Jewish people and gentiles became ONE, and that union is called the church of the Living God.

Ephesians 2: 19-22

Jeremiah 33:3 

These statements are clear:

The church is not a building. It is a congregation of people bonding together by the grace of God.

It is called the church of the Living God, and he promised his presence whenever or wherever people meet in his name.

He is the column and pillar of the truth.
