→Design and construction
It is implied by both Paul and Peter that the builder is God. In fact, God is the builder of everything ([[Hebrews 3:4]]), the archetype of the very concept.
===Building on a solid foundation===
Every wise builder understands the need for a solid foundation, just as every software engineer needs a solid development platform, every scientist needs a robust experimental method, every mathematician relies on the axioms of set theory, and every mobile phone carrier needs a reliable infrastructure. Do we build our worldview with the same attention to the foundation?
As discussed above, both the Old and New Testaments point to Jesus as that foundation. Jesus claims the same about himself in [[Matthew 7:24]] - [[Matthew 7:27]] (repeated in [[Luke 6:46]] - [[Luke 6:49]]) -- people who put his words into practice are like wise builders who build on rock rather than sand.
