This foundation is further reinforced by scriptures such as Ephesians 2:20, which notes that believers are "built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone," and Psalms 89:14, which underscores the importance of righteousness and justice as foundational principles in the kingdom of God. By having a foundation in Christ, believers are able to stand firm in their faith, grounded in the unshakeable truth of God's love and redemption.
