The concept of building is deeply embedded in the Scriptures, symbolizing both physical and spiritual growth and development. Old Testament References The Old Testament provides numerous examples of builders and their work. One of the earliest mentions is in <a href="/genesis/11-3.htm">Genesis 11:3-4</a>, where the people said, "Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly." They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. Then they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens." This passage describes the construction of the Tower of Babel, highlighting human ambition and the desire to make a name for themselves apart from God. King Solomon is perhaps the most renowned builder in the Old Testament. He was responsible for the construction of the First Temple in Jerusalem, a monumental task that required vast resources and labor. <a href="/1_kings/6-14.htm">1 Kings 6:14</a> states, "So Solomon built the temple and finished it." This temple became the central place of worship for the Israelites and a symbol of God's presence among His people. Nehemiah is another significant figure associated with building. He led the effort to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile. <a href="/nehemiah/4-6.htm">Nehemiah 4:6</a> records, "So we rebuilt the wall until all of it was joined together up to half its height, for the people had a mind to work." Nehemiah's leadership and dedication to God's purposes exemplify the spiritual aspect of building, emphasizing community and faithfulness. New Testament References In the New Testament, the concept of building takes on a more spiritual dimension. Jesus Christ is often referred to as a builder, not of physical structures, but of the Church. In <a href="/matthew/16-18.htm">Matthew 16:18</a>, Jesus declares, "And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it." Here, Jesus speaks of establishing a spiritual community that will endure through time. The Apostle Paul also uses the metaphor of building to describe the growth and edification of the Church. In <a href="/1_corinthians/3-10.htm">1 Corinthians 3:10-11</a>, Paul writes, "By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care. For no one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ." Paul emphasizes the importance of building on the foundation of Christ with care and integrity. Spiritual Implications The role of a builder in the Bible extends beyond physical construction to include the building up of faith, character, and community. Believers are called to be builders in their own right, contributing to the growth of the Church and the spread of the Gospel. <a href="/ephesians/4-12.htm">Ephesians 4:12-13</a> speaks to this calling: "to equip the saints for works of ministry, to build up the body of Christ, until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God, as we mature to the full measure of the stature of Christ." In summary, the biblical concept of a builder encompasses both the tangible and intangible, reflecting God's desire for His people to construct lives and communities that honor Him. Whether through physical structures or spiritual edification, the act of building is a divine calling that requires wisdom, dedication, and faithfulness.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(n.)
