This passage reminds up that Jesus alone is the cornerstone. It is only upon receiving the gracious gift of Jesus’ death and resurrection we can have salvation. There is no other method or foundation for this.
We are also encouraged to align ourselves to the cornerstone and build our foundations up from this. The outcome as we do this will be visible fruit is born in our lives. This fruit includes love, righteousness and justice. These things don’t earn or add to our salvation but they are the expectation of what Jesus calls us to see in our lives. The Holy Spirit helps bear this fruit within us.
