The Church's One Foundation

1 Corinthians 3:11

For no man can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

This calls to mind the old hymn we used to sing when I was a kid:

The church's one foundation is Jesus Christ her Lord

She is his new creation by water and the word

From heaven he came and sought her

To be his holy bride

With his own blood he bought her 

And for her life he died

If we lay a foundation for reconciliation with God that is not Jesus Christ, then we are not laying a biblical foundation. We are laying no foundation at all. What we are doing is not Christianity; it is something else.

Christ is the foundation; Christ alone.
