What are ‘gold, silver & precious stones’ in practical daily living/obedience/application? Jesus Christ is indeed The Foundation, but if gold is the Word of God, what then, is silver & what are precious stones? Puzzled.
Paul wrote, “If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw” In this statement, Paul was asking: Are you building your life with eternity in mind? Are you using materials that will stand the test of time - or that will produce a structure that won’t last long? Are you building your life hastily and cheaply for today - or in a way that will count forever? Gold, silver, and precious stones (marble and granite) were the most expensive and the highest quality materials used in the construction of a building in Paul’s day. These were durable, long-lasting, resilient materials! That’s why buildings made of these materials are still standing today.
Thank you again for a wonderful service. Our hearts are filled with thanks to God for his grace ministered so clearly by the All Souls team.
