25:1
We now get details of the tabernacle and the priesthood. These were given to Moses by God. The “temple” is built according to God’s instructions. To apply the principle to today, the church is to be built according to God’s plans. So it is to be built upon the foundation of Jesus Christ (1 Cor 3:11; Eph 2:20). It is sad when we try to build the church on our own foundations. This can happen in various ways. The liberal “church” tries to do it by adopting the morals of the world, e.g. so called affirming churches, or sin-affirming churches as they are more properly called. This is an incredibly stupid approach to take. But it can happen in more subtle ways in Bible-believing churches. We can start relying on methods or gimmicks rather than the truth of God’s word and the power of the Holy Spirit.
