Jesus Christ – our foundation!

Hello everyone,

How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord. The Bible says:

“Because of God’s grace to me, I have laid the foundation like an expert builder. Now others are building on it. But whoever is building on this foundation must be very careful. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one we already have – Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 3v10-11 (NLT)

“According to the grace (the special endowment for my task) of God bestowed on me, like a skillful architect and master builder I laid [the] foundation, and now another [man] is building upon it. But let each [man] be careful how he builds upon it, For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is [already] laid, which is Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).” 1 Corinthians 3v10-11 (AMP)

We are God’s building. For our faith and Christian walk, there is a foundation that is already laid, that foundation is Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ who is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13v8). Ephesians 2v19-21 (NIV) says “Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of His household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the chief cornerstone. In Him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. And in Him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by His Spirit.” Amen. Hallelujah. In Christ, the church is being built and comes together to become a holy temple for the Lord, a place where God dwells by His Spirit. 1 Corinthians 3v16 (AMP) tells us “Do you not discern and understand that you [the whole church at Corinth] are God’s temple (His sanctuary), and that God’s Spirit has His permanent dwelling in you [to be at home in you, collectively as a church and also individually]?”

“And you are living stones that God is building into His spiritual temple. What’s more, you are His holy priests. Through the mediation of Jesus Christ, you offer spiritual sacrifices that please God.” 1 Peter 2v5 (NLT)
