Concise Bible Dictionary
:
As early as
Genesis 4:17
17
And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch. (Genesis 4:17)
we read of
Cain
building a city and
calling
it after his
son
’s name; since which
time
building houses has become common; whereas
Abraham
looked for a city whose Builder is
God
. It is used as symbolical of raising up a
spiritual
edifice to God, of which Christ is the Builder (
Matt. 16:18
18
And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. (Matthew 16:18)
;
1 Cor. 3:9
9
For we are laborers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building. (1 Corinthians 3:9)
;
Eph. 2:21
21
In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: (Ephesians 2:21)
;
1 Pet. 2:5
5
Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. (1 Peter 2:5)
). As instruments, others also are builders—
Paul
calls himself “a wise
master
builder,” or rather “architect” as having well laid the foundation of the
assembly
, which is Christ (
1 Cor. 3:10
10
According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. (1 Corinthians 3:10)
). The laborers are cautioned as to the material they use in building up a
house
for God: improper materials will not stand the test of the
fire
, and the builders will suffer loss by seeing their work burned up and by losing their reward (
1 Cor. 3:10-14
10
According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
11
For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
12
Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
13
Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
14
If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. (1 Corinthians 3:10‑14)
). Whereas all that Christ builds, though by the instrumentality of His servants, will surely stand
forever
. Under another
similitude
Christ is the chief
corner stone
, or
head
of the corner, which “the builders,” the heads of the Jewish nation, refused, but which God exalted (
Psa. 118:22
22
The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner. (Psalm 118:22)
;
Matt. 21:42
42
Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? (Matthew 21:42)
;
Acts 4:11
11
This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. (Acts 4:11)
;
Eph. 2:20
20
And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; (Ephesians 2:20)
;
1 Pet. 2:7
7
Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, (1 Peter 2:7)
).
