The only sure foundation that any person can have is the Word of God and the revelation knowledge of the Holy

Spirit. People, by themselves and without godly guidance, live lives that are similar to Job's description in Job chapter 5 verse 7. Man is born to trouble, as the sparks fly upward from an open fire. By ourselves, we cannot overcome the world, the flesh and the devil. But Jesus has defeated Satan and his cohorts so that we can have a sure foundation, in Him, of sin's forgiven and eternal life. This is an overcoming life where the foundation is in the Lord and on His Word.
