I Corinthians 4:8 NKJV

You are already full! You are already rich! You have reigned as kings without us—and indeed I could wish you did reign, that we also might reign with you!

I Corinthians 4:8 NKJV

Paul is speaking to believers who are puffed up and thinking pridefully that they have all they need as a believer so that they can start judging others and make their own decisions about life.

Paul says I wish that you are truly full and reigning in Christ so that they all can enjoy the blessing to reign in Christ.

The truth of God's word is not meant to judge others but to help them come out of their old self and start to live in the new life that we have received in Christ Jesus.

This group of people had the knowledge in their head but still produced evil that is in their heart. True transformation begins when one starts to change from the inside out.

Therefore, this knowledge that they had did not produce godliness. Instead, it painted the wrong image of God.

There are many fights and divisions in the church circle because of doctrine. It is clearly not God's truth for if we follow what is truly God's word that is revealed then there will be one mind, one heart and we will be united as one family.

We live in the midst of the religious battles just like in the days of the apostles. What we need to do is to go back to the truth of God's word and align ourselves back according to the image and likeness of Christ our Lord.

Let us work on producing Jesus daily in our lives by believing fully in His accomplishment for all mankind.

Live in the blessings,

Ps Ambrose
