Expositions of 1 Corinthians 1:30. Of all the verses in the book of God, this which I have now read to you, is, I believe, one of the most comprehensive: what glad tidings does it bring to believers! What precious privileges are they herein invested with! How are they here led to the fountain of them all, I mean, the love, the everlasting love of God the Father! `Of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption.'
Without referring you to the context, I shall from the words,
FIRST, Point out to you the fountain, from which all those blessings flow, that the elect of God partake of in Jesus Christ, "Who of God is made unto'. And,
SECONDLY, I shall consider what these blessings are, `Wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption'.

He was converted to Christ at the age of 16 and immediately began preaching. He preached in the streets and in the fields before he was 21. In his first church, he began with 100 members.
