For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
Not that other foundations haven’t been attempted.
Of course, there are other foundations. For instance:
- The foundation of pantheism
- The foundation of animism
- The foundation of atheism
If we were to agree that all the religions of the world, except theism, fall into one of those three, then we can move on to suggest that among theists exists a multitude of foundations that have been attempted concerning Christ:
- He was a prophet
- He was an example
- He was a teacher
Debates have been argued since the first or second century concerning His deity.
Our position is that the Bible’s position is: He is the Son of God; 100% God and 100% man.
- As man, He died in our place.
- As God, His death is sufficient to redeem us from our sin.
It is grand to build on Christ. But God warns us to take heed how we do it.
- The Islamic building won’t do.
- The cultic buildings of Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses, monotheism, modalism, and etc., won’t do.
Even among the redeemed, we ought to be careful how we build.
- We must not build on a denomination.
- We must not build on a movement.
- We must not build on personality, pastor, or practice.
Always, always return to the foundation, the source. Build on Christ. And as you build, return frequently to Christ, through His Word, to make your labor sure.
