REFRESHMENT(XLM 8/24/11): Who Were We Then and Who Are We Now?
Upon eating the appetizer, side dish and main course, some of you might still have hesitations on spreading the Good News. You may look down on yourself and say “I am weak, I ca’t do it”. Well, this is Paul’s answer to that.
- v.26 Now remember what you were, my friends, when God called you. From the human point of view few of you were wise or powerful or of high social standing (meaning we WERE weaklings and unwise!)
But see the transformation. It’s all work of God!
- v. 30 But God has brought you into union with Christ Jesus, and God has made Christ to be our wisdom. By him we are put right with God; we become God’s holy people and are set free.
Notice the sudden change of verb usage - from past tense (WERE) in verse 26 to present (ARE) in verse 30. The transformation is just so amazing. And if you will closely observe, we didn’t take part in any of it. It’s all God’s work in us! From weaklings and unwise people, God called us, saved us and made Christ our wisdom. We are no longer weak and the ultimate source of our strength and wisdom is Him alone.
v. 25 For what seems to be God’s foolishness is wiser than human wisdom, and what seems to be God’s weakness is stronger than human strength.
So what shall we do now? Eat the ‘dessert’.
verse 31 So then as the Scripture says, “Whoever wants to boast must boast of what the Lord has done.”

"Salvation is not equal to faith+good works.
It is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone.
Good works are just the results of our faith."

We are the church; so be the church.
Don’t be contented with just going to church every Sunday, sitting in your usual seat, listen to the preaching, receive the benediction and then return to your house. The impact of God’s salvation should manifest in our lives. Take part, get yourself involved…It’s a community project.
