Lately I've been reading and re-reading through the epistles.
Today I was tackling 1 Corinthians and was quickly amazed at the glory of Christ which we find in the last couple verses of chapter 1.
"But by His doing you are in Christ Jesus who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption, so that, just as it is writted, "LET HIM WHO BOASTS, BOAST IN THE LORD."
How we simplify the work of Christ.
We see here that Christ is not just Savior and Lord, but he became our:
Wisdom from God
Righteousness
Sanctification
Redemption
Especially interesting is when you think of the different roles of the last three.
Christ became our righteousness, as in only his good can be worthy in front of God, and his goodness has been fully credited to us as believers.
Christ became our sanctification, as in we become more holy and gain knowledge of the Father each day.
Christ became our redemption, our freedom from captivity.
