What does it mean when the Bible says God makes us to differ?

Answered in 1 source

It means that our distinct identity and spiritual life are entirely the work of God's sovereign grace.

When the Bible states that God makes us to differ, it refers to His sovereign act of grace that transforms us from being lost to being children of God. In 1 Corinthians 4:7, Paul asks, 'For who maketh thee to differ from another?' This rhetorical question emphasizes that any spiritual progress or distinction we have is not due to our own accomplishments but solely the result of God's grace in our lives. This truth brings both humility and assurance, as we acknowledge that our new identity is a divine gift and not something we have earned or achieved through our own works.
