In construction, a solid foundation is imperative, or the structure will eventually collapse. Similarly, Paul stressed the importance of building the church on the only firm foundation, Jesus Christ. Although we might be tempted to focus on personality, ethical preferences, religious traditions, or moral standards, Alistair Begg stresses the importance of pure motives and an eternal perspective as we raise the church upon the solid foundation of Christ alone.
10rAccording to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled2 master builder I laid a sfoundation, and tsomeone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds upon it. 11For no one can lay a ufoundation other vthan that which is laid, wwhich is Jesus Christ. 12Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw— 13xeach one's work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed yby fire, and zthe fire will test what sort of work each one has done. 14If the work that anyone has built on the foundation survives, ahe will receive a reward. 15If anyone's work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, bbut only as through fire.
16cDo you not know that you3 are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? 17If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For dGod's temple is holy, and you are that temple.
