1 Corinthians 1:31 - Let Him Who Boasts Boast In The Lord.

1 Corinthians 1:31 (NIV) Therefore, as it is 
written: "Let him who boasts boast in the Lord." 

There is no cause for exaltation or for 
boasting in any human achievement. The only thing in 
which man can find any justifiable ground for 
glorying is the fact that he knows the Lord Jesus 
Christ as his personal Saviour. The wonder of the 
love and wisdom of God, revealed in Christ, is an 
inexhaustible source of praise and rejoicing, before which 
all human wisdom and achievements fade into 
total insignificance. [SDA Bible Commentary] 

Every saint is in Christ Jesus (v. 
30), and Christ is to every saint all that he or 
she ever needs. When it comes to spiritual 
things, we dont need mans wisdom or power 
because we have Christ. He is our redemption, our 
righteousness, our wisdom, our all. To add anything to 
Christ or His cross is to diminish Him and His work 
and rob them of their power. [Wiersbe Expository 
Outlines] 

The Bible admonishes over and over not to 
think more highly of ourselves than we ought.  
Here is a good example for us. The number of 
Christians who serve the Lord publicly is relatively 
small; those who do serve Him publicly might lean 
towards pride. Paul helps us get it into proper 
perspective, though.  He reminds us that apart from Jesus 
Christ, we can do nothing! Are you among the 
pew-sitters?  Or are you a planter?  A waterer?  Remember 
that while we need to do our part, we must not 
take the credit for the results.  If we boast, 
let us boast in the Lord!  [In His Time; Walk 
With Wisdom]
