Being in Christ Jesus

But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. (1 Corinthians 1:30-31) For those like the Corinthians who are called, separated unto the Lord and call upon him in prayer. (1 Corinthians 1:2) *1/ God has put us in Christ Jesus. 2/ God has made Christ Jesus to us all that we need. 3/ God has done all to the Glory of his Son.* **Sermon Summary:** The sermon centers on the profound truth that believers are securely positioned in Christ Jesus, not by their own merit but by God's sovereign grace, as revealed in 1 Corinthians 1:30–31. It emphasizes that Christ is made to believers all that they need—wisdom to perceive spiritual realities, righteousness to stand before God, sanctification to live holy lives, and redemption to be freed from sin's bondage—each gift flowing exclusively from His finished work. The passage underscores that this divine provision is not for human boasting but to ensure that all glory is given to the Lord alone, as the ultimate source of salvation and sanctification. The preacher calls the audience to recognize their identity in Christ, to embrace the transformative power of His work, and to live in continual dependence on Him, rejecting all forms of self-glory in favour of Christ-centered worship.
