Jesus Loves Me When I Am Not Enough (1 Cor. 1:26-31)

When you feel like you’re not enough, 

  1. Remember your weakness (v. 26) 

“God does not allow us to stay strong in ourselves because He wants us to stay close to Him.” J.I. Packer, Weakness is the Way

  1. Remember your election (vv. 27-29) 
  1. Remember your union with Christ (v. 30)

Union with Christ:

“The battle cry of the Christian is not, “I must try harder, I must try harder. I must try harder.” The battle cry of the Christian is, “I am in Christ, I am in Christ, I am in Christ!” And that’s the only way you can have any hope in this life or in the life to come, because you are in Christ!” – David Lee 

  1. Remember your better boast (v.31)
