The Bible often refers the Church as God's
house. But the Church is not a building. In the New Testament, "the
Church" – is a community of those believing in Jesus Christ also known
as Christians. All the Christians, no matter what their nationality is,
belong to God's people, to his Church. How does God build his house?
Building a house always starts with laying a foundation. Our God is wise
builder, and this is why he laid a very solid foundation for his house.
Jesus Christ is the foundation of God's house. Every Christian is a part
of God's house, a part of God's Church:
" ... you also, like living stones,
are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering
spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ "
1 Peter 2:5.
