Jesus as our foundation means that all aspects of our salvation depend on His finished work.
When we say Jesus is our foundation, we emphasize that His life, death, and resurrection constitute the only basis for our salvation. Ephesians 2 emphasizes that we are no longer strangers but fellow citizens of God's household, built upon Him. This firmly establishes our identity and assures us that all our righteousness comes from Christ alone. In our weakest moments, we realize His strength is made perfect in us. The fact that He is our cornerstone guarantees that our salvation is secure because it is not dependent on our actions or merits. Everything necessary for our redemption was achieved by Him, ensuring that our faith has a stable and unchanging basis.
