“Because of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became
to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption.”
1 CORINTHIANS 1:30 ESV
to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption.”
1 CORINTHIANS 1:30 ESV
Have you ever seen a brother or a sister try to act sanctified? They wear themselves and everyone else out. It is a burden to be around such a person. That is not Christianity.
Christianity is this: not that I am trying to be wise, but that I receive the Lord Jesus as my Wisdom; not that I am trying to be righteous, but that I receive the Lord Jesus as my Righteousness; not that I am trying to be sanctified, but that I receive the Lord Jesus as my Sanctification; not that I am trying to be redeemed, but that I accept the Lord Jesus as my Redemption. Henceforth I cease trying to be anything, and I allow Him to be Who He is through me.
