If money was no object and you were building a house, you would want to use the best designs and materials. Therefore, you would carefully choose who to work with and where to obtain the necessary materials. You would also, carefully oversee the building to make sure every step was performed by the highest standards.
I Peter 2:4-6 says, “As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.” Like Jesus and the gospel message, sometimes people may reject us and our message of salvation. Despite this rejection, God has chosen us and considers us precious. Our responsibility is to build up His church by offering ourselves to Him and faithfully following Him.
