Jesus said "I will build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it".
Many of us in the past read this, and read into it, that the object of building up the Church is to overcome the gates of Hades.
Actually, Messiah is building up His people because He loves them.
All the active strategies, all the counsels, every power and place of authority the Enemy can command cannot, and will not, ever overcome Jesus’s active love.
Love edifies.
He will build His covenant community. His motive in building us is because He loves us. Through us and with us, Jesus has determined to love others.
