Built Together in Christ

Date: January 5, 2026

Scripture Reading: Ephesians 2:21

“In Him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord.”

Paul uses the image of a building to help us understand what God is doing among His people. Faith was never meant to be lived in isolation. In Christ, individual lives are being joined together, aligned carefully, and built intentionally into something greater than any single person could be on their own.

This verse reminds us that growth is both personal and communal. Each believer is being shaped by God, but no one stands alone. God fits His people together with purpose, strengthening what is weak, aligning what is crooked, and raising something holy for His presence. The goal is not individual recognition, but a dwelling place that reflects God’s glory.

Being “joined together” also implies process. Buildings do not rise overnight. They are constructed over time, piece by piece. In the same way, God patiently works in us, using seasons, relationships, and obedience to form us into who He is calling us to be. When we remain rooted in Christ, growth happens naturally and steadily.

As a new season continues, this verse invites us to see ourselves rightly. We are not random parts or replaceable pieces. We belong. God is building something holy, and each life connected to Christ plays a role in what He is forming.

Main Takeaways

  • God is intentionally building His people together in Christ.
