For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.
INTRODUCTION
The passage under consideration sees our life as a building. Every believer is involved in that
building exercise but the quality of work
being done will be determined on the day of
examination. Knowing this would help us to gird our minds, examine our motives and
services in the house of God.
May the Lord teach us today in Jesus name.
Amen.
