Christ: The Architect of Souls

1Corinthians 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.

Christ is the foundation of all creation, and the chief cornerstone. Every stone that is laid in a foundation must line up with the chief cornerstone in order to be effective. Those that do not are removed and replaced with others that will. The restoration of one’s soul depends entirely on receiving the engrafted, incorruptible Word of God and lining one’s thoughts up with the Chief Corner Stone. Thereby we become living stones, and letters written by God to mankind. As it is written,

2Co 3:2-3

Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.

Christ: The True Foundation

1Corinthians 3:11

For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

There is no foundation to build upon other than Jesus Christ. He is the basis for all creation. He is the substructure of the universe. The entire concept of foundation rests upon Him, as He is the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. Building the work of God on the True Foundation is the only lasting effort, and He will establish this work. What He does not establish will not remain.

To Build and To Plant

Jeremiah 1:10

See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.

Make no mistake thinking that the anointing of God will not have a destructive effect on the world system (kosmos). Anything that is not devoted to glorifying God will topple. The release of the anointing will overthrow wickedness at the root and pave the way for the righteousness of God. Before the anointing of God builds and plants, it will root out and destroy, pull down and throw down, anything and everything that exalts itself against the knowledge of God. What remains will manifest His kingdom on earth.

Those that do not are removed and replaced with others that will. The restoration of ones soul depends entirely on receiving the engrafted, incorruptible Word of God and lining ones thoughts up with the Chief Corner Stone. Thereby we become living stones, as it is written. We shall be known and read by all men.
