This morning I want to look at a single verse in 1 Corinthians 4. Verse 7, one short verse that simply asks three questions: "For who sees anything different in you? 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?"
That verse is its own outline—three questions that rebuke the arrogance of human conceit and remind us of the debt we owe to God's sovereign grace. The passage is a reproof and a correction to everything that is man-centered in our theology, and it is a reminder that the truth of God's sovereignty ought to make us humble, not proud...
