Today, I want to consider the building up of God’s house. When I mention God’s house, I am referring to the “household of faith (Gal. 6:10),” “the habitation of God through the Spirit (Eph. 2:22),” or “the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth” (1 Tim. 3:15). The Apostle Paul mentioned his work in Corinth by stating in 1 Corinthians 3:9-11, “For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building, 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. 11 ¶For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.” Now if we desire to build “God’s house, God’s way”, then we would be wise to listen to and watch what the Apostle Paul did in his ministry. |
