11.15 Evening:

We are His workmanship.

They brought great stones, costly stones, and hewed stones, to lay the foundation of the house.―The house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready before it was brought thither: so that there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building.

Ye also, as Lively stones, are built up a Spiritual House.―Built upon the Foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the Chief Corner Stone; in Whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an Holy Temple in the Lord: in Whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.―Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God.

Ye are God's building.―Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.―Now He that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, Who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.
