I am what I am

Thread overview
  • The original post examines 1 Corinthians 15:10, where Paul says he is what he is by God's grace and that his labours were accomplished by that grace.
  • The poster argues that Paul credits no personal power or ability for his work, pointing to his words "yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me."
  • One reply affirms the post as God's Word and says believers are what they are where they are by His grace.
  • Another reply agrees with the message and links Paul's opening greeting of grace in his epistles to the same theme.

"But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me." - 1Cor 15:10


Paul says here that what he was, he was by God's grace.


Writting about his labours, he does not point to some force our power of his own, but [i]the grace of God[/i] he says, [i]which was with me[/i]. Neither does he boast of some abilty of his own to make better use of this grace but says

[i]...yet not I[/i]

[i]...but the grace of God which was with me[/i]


"by the grace of God I am what I am"

Amen! Powerful! It reminds me of when Paul would say "Grace be unto you" in his epistles.
God belss you. -Abraham
