I Corinthians 1:26-1:31

Consider Your Calling

Even in the early church, as the Holy Spirit was so powerfully moving, the Corinthians still encountered problems and divisions. We find that this is normal and we face it in the present day as well. In a world that idolizes and pursues monetary riches, this passage shows that the treasures of this world are all around us, namely in the souls of friends and neighbors. In Christ who died for us, our eyes are opened, we find our calling and our worth. Hence, we consider our calling in this passage with Pastor Lloyd.

  1. For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
  2. But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
  3. And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
  4. That no flesh should glory in his presence.
  5. But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
  6. That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
