Because of Him
But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them — yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.” 1 Corinthians 15:10 NIV
Paul knew his past. He knew that he was not worth of God’s goodness. BUT, he understood that the blood of Jesus made him worth. Paul recognized that all he was and the transformation that he walked through were from the grace of God. With that, Paul was giving glory to God.
In the same way, we know where we are from. We know that we cannot do anything by ourselves. It is because of the blood of Jesus that we are made worth. It is because God’s grace that we are able to do great things that will bring glory to the Lord! Alleluia!
