1 Corinthians 3:10-11 English Standard Version

10 According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds upon it. 11 For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ laid down HIs life in order that His sacrifice should become the Cornerstone for the Temple of God.

1 Corinthians 6:18-20 English Standard Version

18 Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin[every sin] a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. 19 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, 20 for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.

Is Jesus Christ’s sacrifice the cornerstone of your life? We can only have a life in Christ if this will be the case. So often we think in terms of surviving this life. We want to hold on to what is pleasing and shed that which is distressing us. Many will come to Christ to ease their conscience, to rid themselves of the guilt they feel. They do not think of their body in terms of surviving Christ.

Galatians 2:20 English Standard Version (ESV) I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Living by faith is not instinctual. The life we lived before Christ said to cling to life for all its worth. We hoped to see value in life. We hoped to have a legacy that would outlast us. We might have wanted that for our children. It is why some of us push forward in life.

Then there are those who live life for today because they see no hope in the future. They live a life of taking, always taking. If it is not given freely, they steal it. A life that has no meaning in self worth sees no value in others.

Living this life by faith in Christ gives us the ultimate meaning, the glory of God in us, Christ Jesus.
