What is the foundation of everything Christians believe and hope for?
Jesus Christ is that foundation. Scripture declares no other foundation can be laid than the one already laid, and the context identifies Him as the foundation of all belief and hope. That foundation rests on Christ and His finished work of the Cross, with Paul as the master builder who laid it.
Les explains from I Corinthians 3:10-11 that Paul laid the foundation as the master builder, and no other foundation can be laid than the one already laid, Jesus Christ. He teaches that Christ is the foundation of everything believers believe in, and everything they hope for is in that foundation of Christ and His finished work of the Cross. Paul alone was given the revelations concerning this Church made up of Jew and Gentile, making his letters intrinsic to doctrine. Peter makes reference to it near the end of his life, but he knows nothing of this in his early preaching and has no concept of the Body of Christ.
For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
