Building a strong foundation in your faith is wise. Part of a strong foundation is learning obedience. It works hand in hand with self-discipline. It is taking ownership and responsibility over your decisions, actions, and words. It is easier to do with a clear conscience when you know who you are in Jesus. It helps you make better life decisions, choices, and relationships that glorify him.
A foundation built on truth is strong. It drives you to have relationships with fellowship and pushes you to live boldly. A foundation built on truth accepts encouragement to do good, correction with you mess up, and exhortation. It helps you identify the lies easier. Life is very confusing when you can't tell the truth from the lie.
What you believe directly influences your actions and attitude. Base what you believe on the truth and it will cut out so much confusion in life. It builds confidence and assurance. Take the time to really build a strong foundation. It means you can't build for a longer period of time, but the foundation will not crumble under pressure, shaky ground, or anything else. You will be able to stand firm. You will have understanding. You will be able to enjoy the process better. Do not rush growth.
Building a strong foundation takes time. It take patience. You have to be willing to ask the hard questions. You have to be willing to be wrong and change your viewpoint. It is an opportunity to have an incredible life, but you have to be willing to do things differently.
Your foundation is your theology. It will result in a strong spiritual life, neutral, indifferent, or non-existent. Your theology matters. It all starts with your mind and heart. Actions (obedience or disobedience) are the result of your theology. It is based on your relationship with God and getting closer to him instead of being right.
