“God is not a man, that He should lie” (Numbers 23:19). God’s Word is truth. To build on the foundation of God’s Word is to build on a rock-solid foundation (Luke 6:47-48).
To build on this rock-solid foundation is to be safe in the stronghold
of God’s salvation: “The salvation of the righteous comes from the
Lord; He is their stronghold in time of trouble. The Lord helps them
and delivers them; He delivers them from the wicked and saves them,
because they take refuge in Him” (Psalm 37:39-40).
" ... Will you ... come and stand before Me in this house, which bears My Name, and say, We are safe" - safe to do all these detestable things? Has this house, which bears My Name become a den of robbers to you? But I have been watching! declares the Lord" (Jeremiah 7:8-11). “God demands a conversion of the mind and heart as the basis of peace and security (cf. Is 26:3), not the superstitious veneration of a stone building or a traditionally sacred site” ( R K Harrison , Jeremiah ).
