Good Morning “Wise Builders.” Today we are in 1 Corinthians 3.
It can be argued that the foundation is THE MOST important part of your house. If your foundation is weak, undersized, or crumbling your whole house may come down.
How’s your foundation? What are you building your life on?
Paul starts by reprimanding the Corinthians - they are still worldly. Speaking of their spiritual maturity and ability to digest the things of God he says he’s only able to give them milk to eat (see also Hebrews 5:12-14). They still aren’t ready for solid food. They are worldly. Their foundation is made of worldly things - not Jesus. They barely understand the things of God.
“For no man can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, each man’s work will become evident; for the day will show it because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test the quality of each man’s work.” 1 Corinthians 3:11-13
All of these things will burn up, but foundation and life in Jesus will endure!
Jesus is the only sure Foundation (Psalm 61:2; Matthew 7:24; 1 Corinthians 10:4). Then, more Jesus! Purpose to learn from the Holy Spirit by the Word of God! That’s the Good stuff! The Word of God taught by The Spirit of God is the only thing capable of molding and making you into what God wants you to be (Isaiah 64:8; Romans 12:2, Philippians 1:6).
Love you all! Dig in and live it out!
