“Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.”
— Ephesians 2:19-22
Hello, Friends. Here’s a short but sweet exhortation. We will look into the true and absolute foundation of God’s Church. He is the Source and Eternal strength of its stance. His Church is as the tree planted by the rivers of water that bringeth forth its fruit in its season. It is a tree of righteousness … rooted and grounded in love. Jesus dwells in the heart (by faith) of those who believeth on Him unto eternal life.
Let’s begin….
The chief cornerstone is the first thing laid in the foundation …and… it is the most important root part of the substructure.
According to the scripture above, there is only one foundation built that cannot be rebuilt or improved of because it is perfect from before the beginning … and that is the foundation already laid, which is Jesus Christ.
Let us consider what Paul wrote, “For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.” — 1 Corinthians 3:11
Jesus Christ is NOT the Chief Cornerstone of ANY denomination …and… ALL denominations will miss God, entirely! All of their foundations are built upon another source — the one who transformed himself into an angel of light — 2 Corinthians 11:13-14
We pray that God’s lost sheep will escape, as He had others pray for us when we were lost and bound under false leaderships. We know that He is able to seek and find His lost sheep, and to bring them out of bondage to His place and environment of safety unto preservation and comfort, even unto His perfect salvation.
Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 3:10-11, “According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.”
According to this report, any other foundation that is laid does not have the eternal support of the Lord Jesus Christ.
He supports His Church—
Ephesians 2:19-20, “Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone...”
If any church is not built upon this foundation it is built upon the foundation of strangers with foreign messages and are NOT fellowcitizens with the saints of God. Sad.
Many will lose their souls because they believe the lie that they can serve God their own-way — they receive not the love of the truth that they might be saved. Hell is enlarged without measure for the own-way servers.
Friends. Know of a truth upon which foundation your belief is constructed. Be absolutely certain that it is built upon the foundation of the apostles, prophets, and Jesus Christ Himself the Chief Cornerstone. If you are built upon this foundation … you are one of the fellowcitizens of saints in the household of God and in a safe environment to promote your eternal health and preservation in Him.
Know also that, “…the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.” — 2 Timothy 2:19
Believe what God said in His word … and live!
In Christ We Do Remain
