“For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 3:11
What is stirring up the heart of Jesus? The answer is in the biblical text above and how we interpret building a foundation on Jesus. Satisfying the indulgences of the flesh has corrupted our priorities.
We do not build our foundation exclusively on Jesus. We compromise the foundation with the pursuit of money, living for self, sexual immorality, and a permissive attitude over new laws and liberal views which contradict the oracles of God. We make religion our God and living in oneness with Jesus becomes a secondary priority to keeping laws and doing works.
Jesus created the foundation of life for a believer on the Cross. There is no substitute. Anything you attempt to substitute in place of Jesus will burn up and have no lasting value.
Your foundation must be built on accepting and living in the gift of salvation. Jesus must be the cornerstone of all your thoughts, words and actions.
Your foundation must be impervious to the ways of the world. Do not allow false teaching or the worship of idols to creep into your foundation.
Building your foundation on Jesus!
Lay your foundation on Jesus by waking up each day seeking the will of God through prayer and listening for His voice.
Walk by faith trusting in the promises of Jesus and not by what you see with your eyes.
Invite the Holy Spirit to have authority over your life and yield to the teaching and wisdom of the Spirit of God.
Live under the cover of the blood of Jesus.
Be transparent with God opening your heart up to correction and change.
Jesus never changes. If you want to walk with Jesus you have to be willing to change and adopt His values in your life.
If you follow the principles above you will elate the heart of God and live under His favor.
Jesus is a living reality!
Jesus is a Living God. He desires to have a personal and embracing relationship with you. He wants to be involved in every detail of your life. He wants all of you. There are no secret places to hide living with Jesus. He is omniscient and sees everything about you. Jesus knows you better than you know yourself. He sees all your personality flaws some of which are hidden from your eyes.
Jesus offers a living salvation filled with strength, wisdom, joy and protection. Jesus created you in His image. He knew you before you were born. Jesus died to give you a life you can never achieve on your own.
