All Things Are Yours

Receive this startling,

Mind-bending blessing from Paul’s pen,

The Word of God to all believers:

“All things are yours.”

What?

How?

Why would God tell us that?

Receive the more full text:

“So let no one boast in men.

For all things are yours,

Whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas

Or the world or life or death

Or the present or the future—

All are yours,

And you are Christ’s,

And Christ is God’s.” (1 Cor. 3:21-23, ESV)

No need to boast in men.

No need to say “I’m with Apollos”

Or “I’m in the Cephas clique”.

No need to do anything to prove yourself

Or be popular or boast at all.

Why?

Because everything essential for life

And purpose and blessedness

Has already been given to you in Christ!

When you know you’re rich with every spiritual blessing

Insecurities melt away and covetousness evaporates.

All things are yours in Christ.
