Our text today is 1 Corinthians 3:21-23.

We all wrestle with insecurity — in relationships, in calling, and in the unknown future. It creeps in quietly and convinces us we're missing something, behind on something, or not enough for something. But Paul gives a truth big enough to shut insecurity down at its roots.

So let no one boast in men. For all things are yours, whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future—all are yours, and you are Christ's, and Christ is God's. — 1 Corinthians 3:21–23

The Corinthians were comparing, competing, and craving affirmation — classic insecurity on display. Paul cuts through it with one reality: you're not missing out. You already belong to Christ, and in Him, you have more than you think.

Look again at what Paul says belongs to you:

• The world — God works within it for your good.
• Life — every moment comes with a God-given purpose.
• Death — even your greatest fear has been turned into a doorway to Him.
• The present — God's presence is here, now.
• The future — God owns it, secures it, and guides you into it.

Paul intentionally stacks these truths to remind believers that insecurity is built on forgetting, while confidence is built on belonging.

Security forms with belonging — insecurity forms with forgetting.

When you remember who you belong to, insecurity begins to break apart. Fear quiets down. Comparison loses its pull. Anxiety loosens its grip. Because Christ doesn't just hand out spiritual gifts — He gives Himself.

And if you have Him, you're not lacking anything. Not now. Not ever.

DO THIS:

Name one insecurity you battle. Then say aloud: "I am Christ's — and Christ is enough."

ASK THIS:

1. What insecurity shapes my decisions more than God's truth?
2. How would I live if I really believed "all things are mine in Christ"?
3. What part of my identity in Christ do I forget most?

PRAY THIS:

Father, thank You that I belong to Christ. Help me release insecurity and rest in the security You've already given me. Amen.
