GOD’S
DOCTRINAL KEY TO

“…ACCORDING TO 1 Cor. 3:9-15 excerpts “…YOU ARE GOD’S
THE GRACE OF GOD… BUILDING...
AS A WISE MASTER BUILDER,
I HAVE LAID THE EACH ONE’S WORK
FOUNDATION… NO OTHER WILL BECOME MANIFEST…
FOUNDATION CAN ANYONE IF ANYONE’S WORK WHICH HE
LAY THAN THAT WHICH IS HAS BUILT ON IT ENDURES,
LAID, WHICH IS JESUS HE WILL RECEIVE A REWARD.
CHRIST… IF ANYONE BUILDS
ON THIS FOUNDATION…LET IF ANYONE’S WORK IS
EACH ONE TAKE HEED BURNED, HE WILL SUFFER
HOW HE BUILDS ON IT… LOSS, BUT HE HIMSELF WILL

BE SAVED, YET SO AS
THROUGH FIRE.”

THE WORD OF TRUTH”

This natural illustration of the construction of a foundation vs. a building to be built upon it is exactly
what Paul uses in the verses above to describe the relationship of Jesus Christ ( who is the foundation
laid) to the Christian (who is the building to be built upon it). Paul is clear: the only foundation that can
be laid is Christ and the believer is designated as “God’s building.” Paul also makes it clear that the
foundation (the finished work of Christ) is the sole basis for the believer receiving eternal life, but the
quality of building built by the believer will be the sole basis for eternal rewards received by the
believer. Hear what the Spirit says to the churches: the foundation represents the finished work of
Christ, but the building represents the yet-to-be finished works of the believer. God is looking for much
more than Christ laying a solid foundation of salvation and eternal life in our lives. God is also looking
for every believer to be busy building a building on that foundation. Eternal rewards are at stake!
