But God ‘CHOSE’ (us)…1 Cor 1:27
Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when YOU WERE CALLED. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. 1 Cor 1:26
Congratulations, if you’re in these groups, then you’re in the majority of God’s people; let that sink in for a moment! God chooses the ordinary and makes us extraordinary in Christ.
God CHOSE THE FOOLISH things of the world…
God CHOSE THE WEAK things of the world…
God CHOSE THE LOWLY things of the world…
The world looks at us and thinks God chose badly, there’s far better, more able people out there, but God has chosen those who’ll bring Him the glory!
…so that no-one may boast before Him. 1 Cor 1:29
Take a good look, friends, at who you were when you got called into this life. I don’t see many of “the brightest and the best” among you, not many influential, not many from high-society families. Isn’t it obvious that God deliberately chose men and women that the culture overlooks and exploits and abuses, chose these “nobodies” to expose the hollow pretensions of the “somebodies”? That makes it quite clear that none of you can get by with blowing your own horn before God. Everything that we have – right thinking and right living, a clean slate and a fresh start – comes from God by way of Jesus Christ. That’s why we have the saying, “if you’re going to blow horn, blow a trumpet for God”. 1 Cor 1:26-31 MSG
