“Church” building

1 Corinthians 3:10-17… Part of my Bible reading today (You really should read it yourself)…

The Lord is building His Church! (NOT a building though!)

The Lord is building His church – the “temple” where He manifests His powerful presence! He does it with redeemed people – they are the “living stones” He builds it with! (cp. Ephesians 2:19-22)

The firm, strong foundation for the Church, however, is Jesus Christ!

We participate in the building process – He uses us! We need to give Him our best and build with things that endure!

Our part – what we have done in “building” – will be tested! Is it enduring – can it stand the test?

Apostle Paul, inspired by the Holy Spirit gives a final warning: “Do you not know that you (it’s plural – “You all!”) are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells among you? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy them! For God’s temple is holy, and YOU are that temple!”
