Paul uses a great illustration to show how all believers, Jew and Gentile, are connected in the church. All Christians are part of a holy temple for the Lord. The Bible is the foundation of the church. It is the basis for everything we do. It is our guide to know God and how to live the Christian life. Christ is the cornerstone, without whom the temple will fall. It is upon Him that everything is built, and without Jesus, there is no church. This is what the church looks like. It is built on Christ and the Bible, and made up of fellow believers who work together to bring glory to God. Is Christ your cornerstone? Is your life built upon Scripture? You can’t build a house with one brick, you need many. Do you see the Christian life as something you do by yourself, or do you find joy in working with others who are building up the Lord?
