Living An Unshakable Life
Our Lord is the rock of ages and he is with us always. We need to pray and hold onto him always.
1 Peter 2:6 says, ‘For in Scripture it says “See, I lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and precious cornerstone, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame.”
We need a foundation to stand upon and build our lives upon. In the verse above God says, he is laying a precious cornerstone in Zion. Zion is representative of the Church and any one who believes in our God will never be put to shame.
A man of God said, the sum of numbers of the year 2024 is 8. As per biblical numerology, 8 is the number of Christ. This is the year of Christ. He is the precious cornerstone of our lives. The progress of our life starts there, with Christ, our foundation and cornerstone.
I have gone for several functions where I have been invited to pray over the cornerstone of a house or a building. Usually close relatives and immediate family are invited. However this event only involves placing that first and one stone. On top of that cornerstone several other stones are laid. There is a lot of celebration to lay that one stone, a stone that no one will see again after that day.
Christ is the first stone laid for the foundation. God made Christ Jesus the cornerstone of all living beings and every element on this planet. Make Jesus the cornerstone in your life and build everything keeping him as the foundation. Christ is the rock of ages and so nothing placed on him ever changes. Make it a decision to live Christ-like this year, keeping Christ the better and foundation of your life.
1 Corinthians 3:10 says, ‘By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care.‘
The day you confessed your sins and accept Jesus as your Christ and Saviour, is the day you laid Christ as the foundation of your life. Only a wise builder can build the house and it must be built with care.
The next verse goes on to say - 1 Corinthians 3:11 says, ‘For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.’
No one else can lay any foundation other than the one we have laid in Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is our strong foundation.
1 Corinthians 3:12-13 says, ‘If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, 13 their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work.’
The foundation has been laid by Christ and we can use any material to build on top of it. Verse 13 says, fire will test the quality of each work, which means that as difficult situations come into our lives, it is only then that our faith in Christ is truly revealed. If the house that we built on the foundation stands, then the builder will be rewarded
