1Co4

Since everything we have has been given to us by God, our primary identity should be as "stewards". What are we doing with what God has given to us?

Paul asked the Corinthians to consider him in two ways: 1. as a servant of Christ, and 2. as a manager (steward) of God's mysteries. He later asks the question of the Corinthians, "What do you have that you did not receive?" The obvious answer is, "nothing".

God does not give us life and things to use for our own purposes! He gives us everything to use for His glory. If we truly thought in these terms how would our lives change? Isn't this the right way to think?
