The Chief Cornerstone


Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner   stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on Him shall not be confounded.
1 Peter 2:6.         

Here we have a firm foundation;
Here's the refuge of the lost;
Christ's the rock of our salvation-
His the Name of which we boast;
Lamb of God! For sinners wounded-
Sacrifice to cancel guilt;
None shall ever be confounded
Who on Thee their hope have built.




     Have you put your hope and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ? He alone is the solid rock to put your faith in. Our sins have separated us from God, but because of His great love for us, Jesus Christ, the Son of God,  came in to this world to suffer, shed His holy, precious, sinless blood, and die to pay the penalty for our sin. He was the sacrificial Lamb of God, and our only means of forgiveness and restoration to God. "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 14:6. 

     Jesus, the chief (chosen, honored) cornerstone, is a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence to those who refuse to believe. "Anyone who stumbles over that stone will be broken to pieces, and it will crush anyone it falls on." Matthew 21:44. Do not be deceived into thinking there is some other way to gain favor with God. Trusting Jesus is the only way to receive forgiveness of your sins and to be made clean in the sight of God. All the good works that we might try to do can never wash away our sins. "All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away." Isaiah 64:6 (NIV).

     We are still in the day of grace, the free gift of salvation is still available to you, but none of us are guaranteed of tomorrow. Do not be deceived into thinking this life is all there is, our souls live forever, throughout eternity, our time in this world and in these bodies is next to nothing compared to all of eternity. HELL AND HEAVEN ARE REAL! God can and will forgive any sin, the shed blood of Jesus is sufficient to pay the price for all the sins of the world, the only sin that is unpardonable is the sin of unbelief in the finished work of Jesus on Calvary's cross when He died for YOU! 

How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard Him. 
Hebrews 2:3.

Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other Name under Heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. 
Acts 4:12.

            Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.  
      2 Corinthians 6:2.
