“But because of Him you are in Christ Jesus, whom God made unto us wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption” (1 Corinthians 1:30, MEV). Life is confusing when you look at it with a wide lens. There’s just a LOT going on. So many opinions and thoughts and philosophies and objects of worship. So many kinds of living, types of employment, and societies. Differing entertainments and distracting social interactions. What can be depended on as worthy of our participation? What is the good and what is the dross? In Jesus, we don’t have to have confusion. In Jesus, we have access to wisdom. We have access to His righteousness. We can be sanctified in and through the Word. He redeemed us from all the unworthy things the world’s systems force you into. The broken thinking that gets people to claim the bad and call it good. To take the destructive and imagine it is beneficial. In Jesus, we can see the Truth. The objective truth, not a truth that is merely fact propped up on feelings. We can get to the ROOT of all things in Him. We can be stable and secure in Him. We can have real peace in Him. He gives us these things so that we can bring glory to God through our lives, not merely steer our way through the days and nights. What a great gift. What a GOOD God!
