How do we know that all things are ours as Christians?
Answered in 1 source
Scripture assures us that through our union with Christ, all things are indeed ours, including the world, life, and even death.
In 1 Corinthians 3:21-22, Paul asserts, 'Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours.' This declaration emphasizes that everything belongs to God's people because they are united with Christ. The Apostle Paul highlights that whether it be life or death, both serve the believer's ultimate good. The reality of being 'in Christ' means that all resources, support, and even hardships are designed for the believer's benefit. Therefore, knowing that Christ is sovereign over everything should bring profound peace and assurance to Christians, validating that nothing is without purpose and that every event in history is orchestrated for the good of those who love God.
