The main objective to these topic is to understand the importance of firm foundations and how they can be built in our lives.
God wants to build His Kingdom using His sons and daughters.
As we come on this journey of following Jesus and press on to represent, reflect, grow and mature, it is important that we understand where we are as sons and build our lives correctly.
God wants to make us wise builders.
In Luke 6:46-4946 “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? 47 As for everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice, I will show you what they are like. 48 They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. 49 But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete.”
Jesus speaks of two scenarios in building a house.
First: A wise builder who builds on a well-built foundation.
Second: A foolish builder who builds on a weak foundation.
Just like a house, a proper spiritual foundation is also required for us to grow in spiritual maturity.
In Hebrews 6:1-2
Therefore let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and be taken forward to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in God,2 instruction about cleansing rites, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.
Just keep in touch, on my next post, I'm going to tackle "What Foundations Do We need in Our Lives"? Your
