December 1, 2024 - 1 Corinthians 1:30 - But of Him are ye in Christ Jesus

1 Corinthians 1:30

"But of Him are ye in Christ Jesus, Who of God is made unto us Wisdom, and Righteousness, and Sanctification, and Redemption."


Can you think of anything else that we need? In Christ Jesus the LORD we are made what we are not in the flesh. In our flesh, we are all nothing, whether we know it or not. Some believe themselves to be wise and mighty, but that's only a delusion, "But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are." (1 Corinthians 1:27-28)


Those who are hated, despised by the world because they are weak, were chosen by God deliberately and given Christ Jesus the LORD, the Word of God, the Treasure, "But we have this Treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the Power may be of God, and not of us." (2 Corinthians 4:7)


Those who are glorying in their titles, wealth, education, or accomplishments, will be brought low, if they are the LORD's, by the weak and despised. All the things they glory in will be taken, as the Word says, "That no flesh should glory in His presence." (1 Corinthians 1:29)


The Spirit directs that we glory only in the One that deserves it, Christ alone! "That according as it is written, he that glorieth, let him glory in the LORD," (1 Corinthians 1:31)
