Built on a Cornerstone.

A cornerstone was used in the history of building to make sure a building was square.  It was used as the foundational stone to construct the building so that is may stand perfect. So that the walls may all be plumb and flush.  As Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ states that our cornerstone in our walk of faith is Christ. As He is the most perfect. He will direct us in the right direction to make sure we hit the mark set before us.

"As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him— you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. For in Scripture it says:

   “See, I lay a stone in Zion, 
a chosen and precious cornerstone, 
and the one who trusts in him 
will never be put to shame.”

    Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe,

   “The stone the builders rejected 
has become the cornerstone,”

    and,

   “A stone that causes people to stumble 
and a rock that makes them fall.”

   They stumble because they disobey the message—which is also what they were destined for.

   But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.

   Dear friends, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from sinful desires, which wage war against your soul.   Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us."

1 Peter 2:4-12
