So neither the one who plants counts for anything, nor the one who waters, but God who causes the growth.

1 Corinthians 3:7 NET

Each of us has a role in sharing God's Truth. Without us, the Gospel would be stagnant. So, we must speak the Good News, but we must also realize that we are not the ones that save, nor redeem a lost world. Ultimately, God is the One that changes hearts, reveals to the human spirit His Spirit, and brings salvation to an unbelieving world.

Let's be clear of our role and not think of ourselves higher than we ought. Religion comes from men thinking they know more than God, relationship with the Father is an extension of a connection with God!

"I have the right to do anything," you say-but not everything is beneficial. "I have the right to do anything"-but I will not be mastered by anything. 1 Corinthians 6:12 NIV The world approaches everything as their right to do it. It's their right to have an abortion, it's their right to be sexually active with whomever they want, it's their right to do drugs, drink to get drunk. But when that happens, they become slaves to their whims, controlled by their desires. Let's not be fooled by this so-called freedom but realize that the Holy Spirit directs us in the way we should go. Let's walk by the Spirit rather than become obsessed by the world.

 He himself will be saved, but only as through fire. 1 Corinthians 3:15b NET Salvation is only the beginning. Once we accept the gift from Christ, our heart, our attitude, our purpose shifted to seeking God's will. Our purpose is now higher and greater. If we waste our time on earth doing the same thing as before our salvation, all of it will be for nothing, but our salvation is secured. We are image-bearers, reflecting God's goodness, mercy and grace. This shift will have external indicators. We will be more pleasant to be around, forgiveness becomes a way of life, crises become faith journeys. Let's seek the Father's face that we may be a light into the darkness!

 Guard against self-deception, each of you. If someone among you thinks he is wise in this age, let him become foolish so that he can become wise. 1 Corinthians 3:18 NET We think ourselves much higher than we really are. We may have university degrees, a lot of world experience, be the SME in our field, all that may impress the world, but for the Father this is meaningless and foolish. True Wisdom comes from the Holy Spirit through the free-flowing thoughts that He releases in us and that we believe, hear and listen to. Let's be true to ourselves and vulnerable to the world that we may become wise in the eyes of the Father.
