God is building a home.

Ephesians 2:19
Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God's people and members of God's household

This verse is the beginning of the end of one of my favorite chapters in the Bible, Ephesians 2. In this chapter Paul makes a clear declaration of who we are as "Christians." He tells us that as Christians we are no longer walking in accordance to this world and the spirit that works in the sons of disobedience. He explains that we are now dead in our transgressions and alive in Christ. He clearly shows us what our lives should look like if we are REALLY saved. I studied and meditated on this chapter for at least six weeks last year and God showed me things I never seen.

In a nutshell his shows us that we are saved by grace through faith, that we are brought near to the Father by the blood of Jesus, that Christ is our peace and in his fitting ending he proclaims Christ as our cornerstone. The cornerstone of a temple God is building. Here is the ending of the chapter in the Message version:

That's plain enough, isn't it? You're no longer wandering exiles. This kingdom of faith is now your home country. You're no longer strangers or outsiders. You belong here, with as much right to the name Christian as anyone. God is building a home. He's using us all—irrespective of how we got here—in what he is building. He used the apostles and prophets for the foundation. Now he's using you, fitting you in brick by brick, stone by stone, with Christ Jesus as the cornerstone that holds all the parts together. We see it taking shape day after day—a holy temple built by God, all of us built into it, a temple in which God is quite at home.

It's good to know that we are in His master plan. That we are significant and He is using us to build His great and mighty temple. One day, it will be finished. Jesus ill be there holding all of us in place glorifying the Father and praising Him who is the chief architect.
