A. It’s a place to Co-exist

(Eph 2:19-22) Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with

the saints, and of the household of God; And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy

temple in the Lord: In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

(Col 1:26) Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages

and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:

(Col 1:27) To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in

you, the hope of glory:

(1Co 3:16) Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth

in you?

(Eph 3:17) That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith;

that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

A. Our foundation is built off of certain Creed

(1Co 3:9) For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's

husbandry, ye are God's building.

(1Co 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.

(1Co 3:11) For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus

Christ.

(Gal 2:9) And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars,

perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and

Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen,

and they unto the circumcision.

(2Pe 1:16) For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made

known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of

his majesty.(2Pe 1:17) For he received from God the

Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well

pleased.(2Pe 1:18) And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in

the holy mount.(2Pe 1:19) We have also a more sure

word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the

day star arise in your hearts:

(Luk 6:47) Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will

shew you to whom he is like:

(Luk 6:48) He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the

foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that

house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.

(Luk 6:49) But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation

built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and

immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.

(Isa 28:16) Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a

stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth

shall not make haste.

(Mat 16:18) And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of

hell shall not prevail against it.

(1Pe 2:4-8) To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, Ye also, as

lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual

sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture,

Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the

head of the corner, And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were

appointed.

(Psa 118:22) The stone which the builders

refused is become the head stone

of the corner.

(1Pe 2:4-5) To whom coming, as unto a living stone,

disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, Ye also, as lively stones, are built

up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by

Jesus Christ.

(Psa 144:12) That our sons may be as plants grown up in their

youth; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after

the similitude of a palace:

B.The CONCEALMENT of the building

(1Ki 6:7) And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready before it was brought thither: so that there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it

was in building.
