“Base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen” (1 Corinthians 1:28)

It doesn’t matter how much education or money or social standing you have, if God’s chosen you, you’re God’s ambassador, His salt and His light to a world controlled by Satan. There’s so few of you, you may be the only saint many people meet today. God has placed you exactly where He wants you to be for His kingdom.

All you need to do is tell others what He’s done for you. He will empower you to witness for Him. The Apostle Paul was speaking of you when he said, “God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty” (1 Corinthians 1:27).

In 2024, Christian pollster George Barna found just 4% of Americans still have a biblical worldview, down from 12%, just 40 years ago. Unfortunately, while it’s useful to have a biblical worldview, it’s not necessarily an evidence of regeneration. This news should inspire us to do everything we can to tell others about Christ. The worse thing they can do to you is kill you, and then, you get to go to Heaven.

“God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life … He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” (John 3:16-18).

In the eyes of the world, you are base and despised, but in God’s eyes, “you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light” (1 Peter 2:9).
