My Redeemer Lives

Do not say, “There is no way God can make a difference in the world through me.”

God called you not according to your works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to you in Christ Jesus before time began. [1]

For you see your calling, brothers, that...
Not many wise according to the flesh,
Not many mighty,
Not many noble, are called.

God has chosen the world’s foolish things to shame the wise,
God has chosen the world’s weak things to shame the mighty,
God has chosen the base things of the world,
God has chosen the things which are despised,
God has chosen the nothings, to bring to nothing the things that are,
That no flesh should glory in His presence.

But of Him you are in Christ Jesus...
Who became for us wisdom from God,
Who became for us righteousness from God...
Who became for us sanctification from God...
Who became for us redemption from God. [2]

Jesus, not us, is the answer! “O Lord my God, and my Redeemer, I will give thanks to You forever.” [3]
