| Praise the Lord family, have a blessed day ♥ Thank you so so sooooo much Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth ♥ The best way that we can praise God is with our every thought and action. Romans 12:1-2 states, "Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, HOLY and PLEASING to God -- this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer 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." I Corinthians 3:10 "According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon." As we said above, the building is the spiritual house, which is also the priesthood. The High Priest is our Lord Jesus Christ and all believers in Christ are the priests. Jesus is the cornerstone of this building. In Paul's building the foundation, he is saying that he was the one who started this church in Corinth. God used Paul to establish the groundwork for churches in Asia Minnor, Macedonia and Greece. Then others such as Timothy and Apollos built the churches up from his foundations. He wants the followers who minister in this church to bring the same message that he had started. This is why he said "take heed how he buildeth". This is the very same thing said above about one planting the seed, another waters it, and God gets the increase. I Corinthians 3:11 "For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ." Paul did not design the foundation, Christ did. He only laid it down by preaching Christ. This building is to be built upon Jesus Christ our Lord. Paul went on to say, in another place, that if anyone brought another message, let him be accursed. Some people only mention Jesus's name only in prayer forget He is the only way Definition of HOLY 1: exalted or worthy of complete devotion as one perfect in goodness and righteousness 2: divine <for the Lord our God is holy — Psalms 99:9(Authorized Version)> 3: devoted entirely to the deity or the work of the deity <a holy temple> <holy prophets> 4 a : having a divine quality <holy love> b : venerated as or as if sacred <holy scripture> <a holy relic> |
