“Boast In the Lord”
“Boast In the Lord”
Blessings folk!
No human (flesh) can boast of anything before God.
The Lord tells us.
Read the entire passage again, giving special attention to the last portion.
1 Co 1:26-31
For consider your calling, brothers and sisters, that there were not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble
but God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong
and the insignificant things of the world and the despised God has chosen,
the things that are not, so that He may nullify the things that are,
so that no human may boast before God
But it is due to Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God,
and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption
so that, just as it is written: “LET THE ONE WHO BOASTS, BOAST IN THE LORD.”
It is only by the Most High God that true Believers are “in Christ Jesus”
It is “nothing that we did”.
All Him!
Christ became to us…
- wisdom from God
- righteousness
- sanctification
- redemption
All through Jesus Christ.
All to us.
Therefore, boast not in self, rather boast in the Lord!
“Churches” hear this.
Cease the foolish language and thoughts of “our church”, “getting people to come to us”, etc. etc.
Rather, boast in the Lord.
Then watch what the Lord does.
Have nothing to boast?
Be saved!
Today is the day of salvation!
