“The Foundation”

 2 Timothy 2:19

But God's Truth stands firm like a foundation stone

with this inscription: “The Lord knows those who are

 His,” and “Those who claim they belong to the Lord

must turn away from all wickedness.”  (NLT)

     We know that God and His Truth are infinite because He tells us so.  He tells us that He is perfect in every way, that He is perfectly holy and righteous and cannot tell us anything that is not true. Therefore, when we know and believe these truths about our Creator and Savior, we can trust that His Truth is always absolute and never changes.  And if this the way it is, what better foundation is there to build one’s life on than the Rock of our Salvation, Christ Jesus?   The inscriptions found on the foundation stone (The Rock of Salvation) are found in the Old Testament; Numbers 16:5 and Isaiah 52:11 and they tell us who the Lord is and what He expects from His people.  God's Word does not change with the times, my friends, nor does it play favorites.  It is solid to the core, it cannot be destroyed, and we can stake every breath we take on it. 

     When you truly belong to your Creator and Savior, Jesus Christ, and trust in the work He did for you by dying nailed to a piece of wood with rusty spikes, you are trusting the Cornerstone of True Life.  And you can be confident that the Cornerstone of Life will stand strong and in place during all the turbulent storms of this life.  You live in a fallen world that has been blindsided by God's most dangerous Enemy, the devil and you need His help.  The Good Shepherd knows His Sheep and they live in Him, for He is always there to protect and guide them Home.  He knows each one by name and He knows them up close and personal.  God's Cornerstone is strong and unbreakable.  The world builds on many different cornerstones, but they are weak, and will be utterly destroyed and burned to the ground on the last day.  Which would you choose to build your life upon?  A cornerstone of straw and wood, or the infinite Rock of Salvation?

                                              A Whisper of Hope

 Choose your foundation wisely, My child...for the storms of this life are many and they are furious, tearing down the strongest of this world.  Build on the Foundation that is both infinite and eternal and your life will be protected by the Rock of Ages; the Cornerstone for Eternal Life.

Ephesians 2:20-22

We are His house built on the foundation of the apostles and the prophets. 

And the cornerstone is Christ Jesus Himself.  We who believe are carefully

joined together, becoming a holy temple for the Lord.  Through Him you

Gentiles are also joined together as part of this dwelling where God lives by

His Spirit.   (NLT)

                            Come to Christ who is 

         the Living Cornerstone of God's Temple.

                                      (1 Peter 2:4)
