This is the answer they gave us: "We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and we are rebuilding the temple that was built many years ago, one that a great king of Israel built and finished.
Ezra 5:11 NIV
We continue to build the temple of which King Jesus laid the foundation - the Church.
And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others. ... Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. ... Those who cleanse themselves from the latter will be instruments for special purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work. ... Opponents must be gently instructed, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will.
2 Timothy 2:2, 15, 21, 25-26 NIV
May I be faithful to persist in effort that will remain for all of eternity. May I not get distracted with civilian affairs.
Father, thank you for the opportunity to join you in your work. Jesus, thank you for laying the foundation. Holy Spirit, thank you for encouraging me and guiding me in faithfully building up the church for eternal gains. I love you.
