Christ is our Adequacy
•Christ is our sufficiency and our
adequacy in ministry (2 Cor. 3:5-6), as well as our standard
(Eph. 4:13).
•He gives the supernatural gift of
pastor/teacher (1 Cor. 12:28), and the gift of leadership
(Rom. 12:8), although not necessarily the gift
of godliness/character.
•God predestines to sanctification
all those He foreknew (Rom. 8:29)—those saved.
