What is the foundation upon which we build our lives as Christians?

In his video, Alexander Strauch emphasizes the importance of building on a solid foundation. This foundation is not based on human ideas or philosophies but is grounded in the Lord Jesus Christ, who is God in the flesh, and His chosen apostles and prophets. It is a foundation of truth that is unchanging and eternal. As Christians, we have a blueprint and a guide for how to live our lives, set before us by God through His word. This guide helps us navigate the complexities and ethical questions of life that arise in our ever-changing world.

Strauch points out the contrast between Christians and non-Christians in terms of having a word from God. While Christians have a solid foundation in the teachings of Jesus and His apostles, non-Christians rely on societal majority or power to determine their path. This highlights the stability and certainty that come with building one's life on the teachings of Christ and the apostles. As believers, we are encouraged to look to this foundation for guidance, strength, and encouragement in our daily lives.

Matthew 7:24 (NKJV): "Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock."

We have a solid foundation. It's not built on someone's ideas. It's built on the Lord Jesus Christ who is God in the flesh and His chosen apostles and prophets. So it is truth. And it's solid and it will last forever.

And so that's what we're building upon. And so our life has set before it a blueprint. There's a guide map to how we should live, how we should act, where we should be going. And so the Christian has a word from God and that word from God guides us. There are so many questions raised, the ethical questions didn't exist 25 years ago.

We have that solid foundation in the apostles and prophets and Jesus Christ. And that's what we need to look to, to guide our life, to encourage our life, to live our life upon. So we have a word from God. Remember, the non-Christian man has no word from God. It's simply a matter of the 51 percent or who yells the loudest or has the biggest guns.

They could force their way. So we're built on the solid rock.
