"Christ Our Source" from njgrace.org emphasizes that God, specifically Christ, is the ultimate source of all things for believers. Initially, God created everything, including humanity, in His image, with a body, soul, and spirit (Genesis 1:1, 2:7). However, evil originated from the Devil, not God, leading to the Fall, where Adam and Eve's spiritual connection with God was severed, making them reliant on themselves (Romans 5:12-19). Jesus Christ's crucifixion and resurrection restored this connection, making believers spiritually alive and re-establishing God as their source (John 3:16).
The message focuses on 1 Corinthians 1:30, highlighting four ways Christ is the source for believers:

1. Wisdom: Christ provides divine wisdom, accessible through the Holy Spirit, not worldly knowledge (Ephesians 1:16-17, James 1:5).
2. Righteousness: Believers are made right with God through faith in Christ, not works, and express righteousness through Him (Galatians 2:16, James 5:16).
3. Sanctification: Christ sets believers apart as holy and conforms them to His image, a process driven by surrender to Him (Hebrews 10:14, 1 Thessalonians 4:3).
4. Redemption: Christ’s sacrifice paid the price for believers’ sins, freeing them and making them zealous for good deeds (Colossians 1:14, Titus 2:14).

The text encourages believers to rely on Christ as their source for living the Christian life, replacing self-reliance with dependence on Him.
