God and Christ are both Master Builders. They built the universe, the world we live in, and what an awesome creation it is! Scripture tells us that we are also God’s building. God is building an eternal family and He wants you to be one of the members of His family. You are made in God’s image and you are also a builder. What are you building? Have you been building on a firm foundation? Will your building stand the test of time and trial that is coming upon the earth?
