This illustration compares our lives to a house that is built on the firm foundation of Jesus Christ, as referenced in Luke 6:46-49.
As believers, we are considered God’s building, and He wants us to build our lives upon the foundation of Jesus Christ.
Steady and Strong
How’s your house? Is it steady, strong, a beautiful structure that welcomes others and guides them in building their lives on the gospel of Jesus Christ?
Disrepair and Dirty
Does your residence stand in disrepair? Maybe it has dirty windows and trash left lying around. Is there something you need to confess, or some cleaning up of your life you need?
Out of Balance
Perhaps the structure of your home has settled to one side, and your life feels out of balance. Are there areas of your life where you’re spending too little time? Or places where you get stuck for too long and you need to rebalance your activities?
Cracked and Weak
Your foundation may have cracks reflecting doubts, a lack of knowledge, or exposure to false teaching. Joining Bible Study at your local church can help you connect with other women and strengthen your understanding of the truth in the Bible. Spend time in the Word of God to reinforce your foundation with His Truth.
Lights Not On
Perhaps your dwelling stands firm, but the lights are off, and there’s no electricity. Do you want to learn how to share your faith with others and let your light shine?
Call on the Master Builder
God wants us to grow and become more like Him. Will you allow Him to start or continue working in your life, whether it be minor repairs or a complete remodeling project? The Master Architect is an incredible craftsman. He’s gentle, loving, neat, and orderly. Come, let Him reassemble you into a strong structure with Christ and the Word of God as your foundation.
You are God’s building. Because of God’s grace to me, I have laid the foundation like an expert builder. Now others are building on it. But whoever is building on the foundation must be very careful. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one we already have – Jesus Christ. 1 CORINTHIANS 3:9-11
