How does God use ordinary people for His glory?

Answered in 1 source

God uses ordinary, sinful people to perform His work, demonstrating His grace and sovereignty.

Throughout Scripture, God consistently uses weak and ordinary individuals to accomplish His purposes, thus revealing His sovereign grace. In Exodus 35, every willing heart among the Israelites was called to contribute to the construction of the tabernacle, highlighting that God does not rely on human strength or ability, but on the willing hearts of His people (Exodus 35:5). Similarly, in 2 Corinthians 5:17-20, believers are commissioned as ambassadors, illustrating that it is through their simple acts of witness that God reconciles the world to Himself. This underscores that God's choice of vessels is intentional, as He desires to display His power through their weakness, ensuring that all glory goes to Him rather than human effort.
