The Most Solid Foundation

God laid a new creation foundation for all people, a stratum wide enough and strong enough to hold everyone who wants to build his of her life on that solid rock foundation.

For we are both God’s workers. And you are God’s field. You are God’s building. (1 Corinthians 3:9)

The New Foundation

The new foundation and provision for rootedness was laid in human time by Jesus. God erected a “tree” as a symbol and instrument to provide the underlying support that our lives require, for by dying on the cross-tree Jesus attacked the root cause of human foundationlessness – sin.

But Christ has rescued us from the curse pronounced by the law. When He was hung on the cross, He took upon Himself the curse for our wrongdoing. For it is written in the Scriptures, “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.” (Galatians 3:13)

You Cannot Trust On Your Self

Your self-reliant, self-oriented, self-centered, self-created ways of saving yourself, of being your own rock, cannot be trusted anymore.

God saved you by His grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. (Ephesians 2:8)

Critical Issue of Life

If you have not embraced Jesus as the bedrock of life, you must immediately deal with the critical issue that separates you from God, the founder and foundation of all reality.

Once you were dead because of your disobedience and your many sins. (Ephesians 2:1)

Maintaining Spiritual Foundation

The maintenance of a spiritual foundation, the making of a godly life, remains an impossible God-thing in your life, but it also remains a possible God's thing in your life.

Now all glory to God, who is able, through His mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. (Ephesians 3:20)

Building a Sturdy Life

A person must embrace the Lord Jesus - His work for one's salvation, and His words for one's foundation - to build a sturdy life. The foundation must not only serve as a foundation on which to build but a foundation by which to live.

  For God saved us and called us to live a holy life. He did this, not because we deserved it, but because that Was His plan from before the beginning of time - to show us His grace ghrough Christ Jesus. (2 Timothy 1:9)

Keeping Spiritual Foundation

The maitnance of a spiritual foundation, the making of a godly life, remains an impossible God-thing in your life, but it also remains a possible God's thing in your life.

Now all glory to God, who is able, through His mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. (Ephesians 3:20)
