The Lord’s House

The Bible has much to say about the house of God. Isaiah stated that it would be established on the top of the mountains. Paul wrote to Timothy to tell him that the house of God is the church of the living God. He also told the Ephesians that there is one body, and that body is the church.

However, in our world today there are hundreds of religious organizations. Who established them? Jesus shed some light on this when He taught about the two builders. One builder heard the Lord’s words and obeyed them, and in doing so built upon the sure foundation of the solid rock. The other builder heard, but did not obey. This one, according to Jesus was a builder, but one who was building on the foundation of sand and was destroyed. This reminds us of two passages of Scripture. Psalm 127:1 reads, “Unless the LORD builds the house, They labor in vain who build it…” Then in Matthew 15:13 we read, “Every plant which My heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted.”

Who built your religious organization? If you answer that it was the Lord Jesus Christ, can you prove it by the Scriptures?
