Faith's Sure Foundation...

This is for all my Christian friends. I cannot help but share with you some insights about the sure foundation of our faith.

1 Peter 2:6
He that believeth on Him shall not be confounded.

The verse from Peter gives a remarkable insight into the foundation of our faith. It is a passage that was a favorite quotation with the apostles and worthy of our serious consideration.

If you turn to the Epistle to the Romans, you will find Paul quoting it again and again in rapid succession (Romans 9:33; 10:11). It is a quotation from Isaiah 28:16, where we find it written:
"Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste."

Paul interprets that as "shall not be ashamed," and Peter renders it as "shall not be confounded."

From the variation of the translations we obtain two or three different shades of meaning, all derived from the same thing.

The sentence seemed to the Holy Spirit to be so full, so complete, and so forcible that He repeated it often.

The harp is a choice one; let us play upon it, and let our ears drink in the melody: "He that believeth on Him shall not be condemned."

What is your faith's foundation?
Is your faith lies on that sure foundation?
