Christ
the Believer’s Wisdom,
Righteousness, Sanctification,
and Redemption
“But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption.”—1 Corinthians 1:30
Of all the verses in the book of God, this which I have now read to you is, I believe, one of the most comprehensive. What glad tidings does it bring to believers! What precious privileges are they herein invested with! How are they here led to the fountain of them all: I mean the love, the everlasting love of God the Father! “Of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption.”
Without referring you to the context, I shall from these words, first, point out to you the fountain from which all those blessings flow, which the elect of God partake of in Jesus Christ, “who of God is made unto us...” And second, I shall consider what these blessings are, “…wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption.”
