Who made this difference?',

"Who makes you to differ from another?" 1 Corinthians 4:7

There is a wide difference between a Christian and a  world-ling ; the one is dead in trespasses and sins, the other is alive unto God, by Jesus Christ our Lord. He has been quickened by the Son of God, is born of the Spirit, and taught by the eternal Father. He is a new creature, being created anew in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God had before ordained that we should walk in them. 

Who made this difference? You are at once ready to answer, if really taught of God, "By the grace of God I am what I am!" 1 Corinthians 15:10 "By His own choice, He begat me by the Word of truth." James 1:18.

Yes, it was the rich, free, and sovereign grace of God—and that alone, which made you to differ!

Oh, beloved, view yourself as an infinite debtor to grace; and be humble before God who has thus made you to differ. "Look unto the rock whence you were hewn—and to the hole of the pit whence you were dug." Isaiah 51:1
