“Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours:”
In 1 Corinthians 3:21-23, Paul shows how to view others in ministry. We should regard them as men sent by God.
Therefore let no one boast in men.
No Christian should place the ultimate truth in the authority of men. This stance always causes divisions in the local church.
For all things are yours:
All of God’s revelation is at our disposal, so why should we get caught up in the wisdom of men?
PRINCIPLE:
The believer under God holds great status and assets.
APPLICATION:
Human wisdom is not permanent but temporal. Today, there are two essential approaches to truth: the natural and the supernatural. One believes that all that one can know is bound by nature; the other believes that there is a God, and He has spoken. The person who believes that the natural is all there is can never come to an ultimate certainty about anything, for he has delimited himself to finiteness. The believer who knows this can claim his status and assets to live the Christian life.
