1 Corinthians 3:21-23, Ye Are Christ’s

1 Corinthians 3:21-23 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours; 22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours; 23 And ye are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s.

The Apostle Paul tells us that we belong to Christ. He alone is Master, not any earthly person whether it’s Paul, Apollos or Peter. In fact, we are bought by Him at a price. Jesus Christ paid the ransom for our sins by His life and death! He alone, both divinely God and fully man, is the mediator between God and man. We owe our salvation to Him. We are to serve Him for all that He has given us on earth and in heaven.

When God’s people are united to serve Christ, to give all glory to God and Christ alone, there is a unity of purpose in the body of Christ. There is a concerted advancement of God’s kingdom based on a right understanding of relationships between God and man.

There is much blessing awaiting God’s people united for the service of Christ. The day of His return draws near. The night is far spent. May God’s people be energized to do His will. Amen.
