Glorious United Property
1 Corinthians 3:21-23
Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours;…


I. CHRIST IS GOD'S.

1. God's Son.

2. God's image.

3. God's gift.

4. God's great ordinance of salvation.

II. YE ARE CHRIST'S.

1. Negatively.

(1)  You are not the devil's.

(2)  You are not Moses'. You are not the property of the law.

(3)  You are not Adam's. His headship was soon lost.

2. Positively, "Ye are Christ's." His property, His spouse, His members, His riches, His glory.

III. HAVING CHRIST, WE HAVE ALL THINGS. I remember reading of a lady looking over certain treasures of the house. She says, this is mine, and this is mine, and this is mine. The husband very pleasantly smiled, and said, Yes, my dear, all this is yours, because you are mine. Now all belongs to the believer that belongs to Christ, officially, relatively, and by covenant, and by mediation.

1. All the fulness stored up in the person of Christ belongs to His people. "It hath pleased the Father that in Him all fulness should dwell." "Of His fulness we have received, and grace for grace."

2. All the merit of His work.

3. All the triumphs of His victories.

(G. Murrell.)
