Have you ever thought about this passage describing our position in Christ:
“You are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord.” Ephesians 2:19-21
“A cornerstone is the first stone set in the construction of a masonry foundation. All other stones will be set in reference to this stone, thus determining the position of the entire structure.” (wiki)
Christ is the cornerstone of our faith. When we come to Christ, we become “living stones,” built into a “spiritual house” (1 Peter 2:4-7). We don't fit Him into our plans. He fits us into His (Ephesians 2:10).
This means we transform our minds and hearts through prayer, Bible study, and Christian fellowship so we understand our position in Christ's “house”:
“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will” (Romans 12:2).
Unsaved men and women align themselves with a crooked cornerstone named Satan. He builds them into a “false spiritual house” which will one day come tumbling down.
But our home is built on the Way, the Truth, and the Life. And He will never be shaken! Can I get an “Amen”?
