What does it mean that we are God's building and husbandry?

Paul uses the metaphors of ‘God’s building’ and ‘husbandry’ to describe the church as a community established by God. This indicates that we are not just random individuals, but part of a divinely orchestrated plan. Understanding ourselves as God’s workmanship encourages us to rely on Him for growth and maturity. It also highlights the necessity of being rooted in Christ, the cornerstone of our faith, ensuring that every aspect of our lives is built upon the foundation of His grace and truth, thus bringing glory to Him alone.
