Our Foundation

1 Corinthians 3:11
"For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, whch is Jesus Christ."
Many of us have struggles during our weeks, struggles in school, in our own homes. Sometimes we may feel as if it is too much to handle. Sometimes we just fall away from God and eventually leads us into the wrong direction, to a place we would never want to be in. And sometimes we end up blaming God although He had done nothing wrong. We just feel lost, lonely and lifeless.

I tell you brothers and sisters that I have gone through that path many times before and at those times I wondered to myself, "Again?" The Bible tells us about sin, of how sin misleads us to places we never wanted to be in and how it breaks our relationship with God. 1 Corinthians 3:11 tells us that Jesus Christ is our foundation! What does that mean? We have to put our trust and faith in Jesus Christ and when our trust and faith grows stronger, our foundation grows stronger. If we do not exercise our faith by reading the Bible and praying, our foundation will get thinner and thinner, to a point where it just breaks and where we just fall.

Jesus laid down the foundation for all mankind. God is holy and must judge sin. We are sinners, therefore God must send us to hell but Jesus Christ came down as human and suffered on the Cross for our sins and resurrected on the third day. This is the strong point of our foundation. Something Christians may do sometimes is just believe in this message but that's one of the reasons why their foundation eventually gets destroyed. Believing in this message is not the only thing you should do to keep a strong foundation. We also have to realize that we have to do something with this message and that is to evangelize. We should also have fellowship with other Christians who will make our foundation stronger. We should pray and read the Bible to keep a strong relationship with God. Yes, the Gospel is the center point of our foundation and without it there would be no foundation but we also have to make other parts of our foundation strong.

As Christians, we should also realize that we cannot build this foundation on our own. We need the help from God. And as Christians we should also help others build up their foundation because we do not want our fellow brothers and sisters to fall. "Accountability" Let's remain strong for Christ is our solid rock!
