Christ a Sure Foundation

" For we are labourers together with God; ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building. 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." ( 1 Corinthians 3: 9-11 ) My foundations were what people thought about me; material possessions, prestege, the sound of hands clapping approval... all of those things that man can give and take away. I soon realized that I could not depend on; afford, satisfy, or build upon any of the aforementioned foundations. The only foundation that any of us can depend on is that of the Jesus Christ. We must continue to build upon our faith in Christ if we are to spend eternity with him. Remember, " 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 being the chief corner stone." ( Ephesians 2: 19-20 )..." And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; and to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; and to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. Wherefore the rather brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure; for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall." ( 2 Peter 1: 5-10)
