“What do you have that you did not receive? If then you received it, why do you boast as if you did not receive it?”

(1Corinthians 4:7 ESV)

 

“And we urge you, brothers, admonish the idle,encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with them all.”

(1Thessalonians 5:14 ESV)

 

God doesn’t create strong Christians so that they can boast in their strength , and all the while ridicule and otherwise minimize the weak. God makes strong Christians so that they will boast only in the Lord and so that they might encourage and strengthen their brothers and sisters in Christ. The whole point of God giving us grace is so that we might glorify Him and be helpful and gracious to others.  How gracious has our Lord been with us! 

“I will seek the lost, and I will bring back the strayed, and I will bind up the injured, and I will strengthen the weak, and the fat and the strong I will destroy. I will feed them in justice.”

(Ezekiel 34:16 ESV)
