I Corinthians 3:22 NKJV
whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas, or the world or life or death, or things present or things to come—all are yours.
I Corinthians 3:22 NKJV
Paul wrote to the Corinthians and revealed to them that they had received it all in Christ. Everything that mankind needed from God; the help, the health, the provision, the authority, the power, the peace, the joy, and love, has been given to us.
But the Corinthians were still living like immature people.
They were still functioning in their carnality, thinking who is better than the other, looking for credibility from their own association instead of living in the perfect state of being in the person of Christ who is living in each one of us.
All that they are trying to achieve is actually already theirs in Christ Jesus.
It is like a dog chasing its own tail, hoping to catch it.
Many believers are still trying to catch their holiness, their health, their provision, and their blessings.
The truth is that all have been given to us already by Jesus Christ. But if we try to do something to get it, we will be like the dog that is chasing its own tail.
This results in what God has already given to slip away when we try to attain it, because the knowledge of what we already have will start to change into knowledge for us to attain.
We will form a religion, a structure, a pathway of preparation, and a belief system on how to attain it.
Every good and perfect gifts IS OF GOD AND GOD HAS GIVEN IT ALL TO US to live in them.
There will be no more boasting about our self-achievements because it is a gift of God. We boast in one person that is Jesus Christ and in His finished work.
Let us live life as one WHO HAS BEEN BLESSED with EVERY SPIRITUAL blessing, exercising and putting into practice every day by the power of His Spirit.
Live in the blessings,
Ps Ambrose
