Building A Life That Matters

1 Corinthians 3:9-17

Have you ever played with Lego? You know that in the beginning, there's usually instructions on how to build whatever your Lego was purchased for, but most of the time, we just go ahead and start connecting some bricks. Half of the time, we're unsatisfied with what we built, and take it apart and begin to build again. 


Let's say you want to build a ship, but you don't know how. You go through trial and error until you become frustrated, and a friend, who knows how to build the ship you want, comes along. Would it not be smart to listen to your friend's direction in order to build the ship?


Just like our Christian walk, sometimes we go through trial and error daily, until we finally turn to God and listen to his instructions on how to build up our lives. 


"By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ." [1 Corinthians 3:10-11]


The only foundation and person we should listen to when it comes to building our life is Jesus Christ. Without him, there is no building since he is the foundation. Let's listen to God and learn how to build our lives up!

The Bible is the Christian's blueprint for life.
