Produktbeschreibung

He is like a man which built an house, and dig deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. (Luke 6:48) For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.(1 Corinthians 3:11) I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. (1 Corinthians 3:6) In Luke chapter two God came down to earth in the person of His Son Jesus Christ. A premise was established throughout the Old Testament. A sacrifice is "required" for sin. Whether in Genesis 3:24 through the picture given in Exodus 12. There is a payment due for sin. That payment, for all eternity, was paid on the cross of Calvary. That is the foundation that the Son of God laid for the whole world. . . salvation through the blood of God's only Son. Here is the rest of the story. . . Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. (1 Corinthians 3:12-13) Jesus has already laid the foundation. Once we have received, into our hearts, the Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 10:9-10) we have laid that foundation for all eternity. Now, how do we build on that foundation? Notice that there are two types of materials, gold, silver, precious stones, or wood, hay and stubble. Which would you prefer your construction be made of? We can build upon that foundation in two ways. . . God's building materials OR the world's materials (wood, hay, stubble). That is our life's work. Building on the foundation of the truth of the gospel message. Oh, and what do we use for mortar? Look at this verse. . . But without faith it is impossible to please him; for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a reward of them that diligently seek him. (Hebrews 11:6) Faith is the "mortar" that holds this structure together. Without that, the walls will never stand the winds of adversity! In Luke 6, Jesus contrasts these two buildings, their contrasting foundations. How is your foundation? On what are you building your life's work? Will it stand? How about adversity? How do you weather the storms in your life? It ALL depends on that foundation. Rome, Corinth, Galatia, Ephesus, Philippi, Colosse, etc. These are the churches, the work that Paul built on the foundation of the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ. When you tell someone about Jesus you are building upon that same foundation. That is our calling, that is our life's work. That is the gold, silver, and precious stones built upon the foundation of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
