What does the church quote The True Church can never fail For it is based upon a rock mean?
In essence, the quote is asking you to consider the church as a kind of building, a house of the lord. If the Church is true, the fact that it is based on a rock means that its foundation is sturdy. The bible says that the foundation of the true church, thus, is built from Christ, who is the chief cornerstone and thus the stone on which everything else is built. The rest of the foundation is built off the teachings of the Apostles and Prophets, who draw from Christ to support the church. If the church in question is not founded on Christ, or carries a foundation of Apostles or Prophets that contradict Christ and what he stands for (or don't even have apostles and prophets at all) then the church is not true, for its foundations are faulty, and it falls.
