Luke 6:48 - The house founded/built on the rock did not shake ...because it was well built. [KJV (etc.): ...because it was founded/built on the rock.]
Being built on sand (no foundation)
Luke 6:49 - The house without a foundation collapsed and was totally destroyed.
This illustration is used to teach us the need to pay attention to Jesus' words. It shows the contrast between those who hear/obey and those who don't.


This city is worth waiting for
Hebrews 11:10 - [Abraham was content to live in a tent (something that does not have a foundation)] ... because he was looking forward to a city with foundations - one designed and built by God.
There are many illustrations in the book of Hebrews, which contrast what is temporary (example - the tent) to what is permanent (example - the city).


Ephesians 2:20 - You are built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Jesus Christ as the chief cornerstone. [In this passage, God's people are described as the building.]
The O.T. prophets did not understand as much about Jesus, as did the apostles, since he had not yet been born. Some of their writings have direct reference to Jesus (example - many of the prophetical writings); at other times, their focus on Jesus was indirect. But either way, their message would complement - not contradict - the message of the apostles. (The apostles, on the other hand, would reaffirm the message of the prophets - along with revealing what had not been previously made known.)
Note: Since the message is Jesus Christ, perhaps this verse could also fit under the previous heading, "The Person: Jesus Christ."

1 Corinthians 3:11 - First, there is only one legitimate foundation (Jesus Christ); none other can be laid.


An eternal foundation vs. a short-lived one
1 Timothy 6:19 - In doing this, they will be storing-up (like a treasure) a good, strong foundation that will be of value in the coming age. They will be taking hold of real life - a life that does have certainty (in contrast to a life focused on money and possessions).


Establishing a foundation of faith and love
Faith/trust
The key emphasis of this passage (Colossians 1:21-23) is our reconciliation to God.
What this means: In the past, we were enemies of God (because of our sins, our rebellious hearts, etc.). But now, we have become friends of God, because of what Christ has done. And because of this, we will be able to stand before God (at the Day of Judgment), holy, blameless, and free from accusation.
This wonderful promise and future hope applies only to those who have a type of faith that endures - those whose faith is firmly built on the strong foundation, which is found in the message that Paul proclaimed:
Colossians 1:23 -...if you continue in the faith, firmly established and steadfast, not moving away from the (message of) hope, which is found in the good news that I/we have proclaimed to you.
See also Colossians 1:5, for more about this good news. See the section (above) about 2 Timothy 2:19, for more about this type of faith that remains steadfast. (See also 2 Timothy 2:18, which makes reference to the opposite: a "short-lived" faith.)
Love
This love (Ephesians 3:17) is associated with Christ, who dwells in us, and whose moral character is seen expressed in our lives. (Of course, this passage only applies to those who belong to Christ - those who have changed lives.)
In this passage, we see one of Paul's prayers for the people. Two of the things he prays for are:
(Ephesians 3:17a) - ... that, through God's power, Christ will be dwelling in your hearts (as you trust him).
Ephesians 3:17b - ... that you will be rooted and grounded / firmly established in love, so that (v. 18) you will begin to comprehend the incomprehensible greatness of Christ's love.
It may be debated, as to whether this "love" focuses on God's love for us (an unchanging love which provides a firm foundation for our salvation), or on our love for God and other people (a love which is sometimes weak, and needs to be reinforced - made stronger - as we grow in our salvation). As the impact of God's love increases in our hearts (as we become more aware of its reality and effect), our love for others (and for God) will also increase... and so, both expressions of love will be present!
In some respects, these two concepts - faith and love - could be considered a summary of the entire Christian life.


1 Peter 5:10 - After you have suffered for a while, God himself will restore, support, and strengthen you, and will establish you (= place you on a firm foundation).
