Bible Dictionary
BUILDER
A builder constructs or establishes a structure, and Scripture also uses the image figuratively. God builds and restores His people and city; believers are built up in faith on Christ as the foundation.
Biblical Usage
Christ is presented as the cornerstone rejected by the builders. Christians are built by God on Christ the foundation, built together in Him, and built up in faith. Paul describes himself as a wise master-builder, while God is the Builder of all things and of the New Jerusalem.
