Constructional Truth

by Paul Graham

As I sit writing to you from a friend’s home in Palermo, Italy, I’m looking down at a brand new apartment block being built. From my view on the 14th floor balcony, I can see that the foundations of the new building have already been laid and the builders are up to the 8th floor. I notice that the foundations are very deep.Today I have observed the workers pouring the liquid cement which will soon become the 9th floor … floor upon floor, layer upon layer, all supported by a deep and solid foundation. I can see that the process of building takes great cost and effort, and many days of hard work. I can also see that with each passing day, each week, and eventually months, this great building is being built to last, built to stand whatever might come its way.The opportunity to observe this process afforded me great insight into the “real” Christian Life. Like the building, each of us needs to be built upon a solid foundation, the Person of Christ. Then we need to be established in apostolic truth by the men and women of God who are willing to do the hard work and pay the price to invest in our lives. The “liquid truth” of God is poured into our lives by His Spirit, and as we walk it out over time, it becomes solid substance that supports the “building” of our lives. As we do our part of “the work,” applying the truth to our lives, the building grows to completion - floor by floor, built life principle upon life principle. In this way our lives are continually being built until finally we are presented to Christ as a strong and completed structure, founded on Him."Constructional Truth" follows after "Liquid Truth" in helping to build established and mature believers.Your friend,Paul Graham
