I. Before building a life there must be a strong foundation.
A. Our foundation must be God's and not man’s.
1. Man’s foundation is shaky.
2. God’s foundation is sure.

B. Our foundation is the rock, Christ Jesus.
1. He is a Rock of Offense and a Stone of Stumbling.
2. We are blessed if we are not offended in Him.

C. Our foundation is the most important part of the building.
1. It will enable one to weather the storms.
2. It will help establish one in the faith.

D. Our foundation will be very costly.
1. It involves a cross experience.
2. It involves a denial of self.
3. It involves a digging deep.

Our foundation…
4. It involves losing your soul-life.
5. It involves a surrender of all life’s possessions.
6. It involves being broken.
7. It involves a total love for God.

E. Our foundation is based on the principle of hearing and doing.
1. There are many who know what to do, but do not do it.
2. There are many who have ears but do not hear.

3. How we respond to the commands of Christ indicates our relationship to Him.
a. It should be a relationship of love.

4. To neglect to lay this foundation is the height of folly and deception.
Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it—he will be blessed in what he does.

II. Before going on to build the house there must be a proper Christian birth.
Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off-for all whom the Lord our God will call.”
A. Repentance is the first word of the Gospel.

C. It is important to know what repentance is.

2. Chalmers: “It describes that deep and radical change whereby a sinner turns from the idols of self and sin unto God, and devotes every movement of the inner and outer man to the captivity of His obedience.”
3. Repentance involves a losing of the soul-life—the mind, will and emotions.

III. Faith in God is absolutely essential in the new birth process.

B. Faith can be defined in several ways:
4. Hebrews 1:1
“Now faith is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of things (we) hope for, being the proof of things (we) do not see and the conviction of their reality - faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses.” –Amplified Bible
