The foundation of God; Christ the solid rock. “For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ” (King James Bible, 1769/2017, 1 Corinthians 3:11). In all we do we must build on the truth of God, it is the only way. To build on Christ is to know the gospel of grace which is the finished works of the cross. The cross gave us all things about life and Godliness. “According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue” (2 Peter 1:3). Through the grace of God, we have come to learn the nature of God which is built-in Christ.

Jesus, I thank you for loving me, I thank you for forgiving me, and I accept you in my heart today as my Lord and Savior. Amen

We can’t take no credit for God’s work; it is his grace that made us who we are. “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9). In all that we do, we must remember that God loved us before we were saints. “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Roma...
