1 Corinthians 1.30,31 - “Christians are not perfect, just….?”

Lucky? Hypocrites? Better than most? Arrogant? All of the above??? What is going on with Lot? How can a man thrice called “righteous” in the NT (2 Peter 2.7-9) go off the OT stage with drunken incest in a cave? But what’s going on with the Church? Why are moral failures (immorality, drunkenness, divorce, abortion, homosexuality, corruption) all too common among “believers?” And what is my excuse? Why don’t I practice what I preach? “Christian” means “little Christ,” and in rare moments we are incrementally, imperfectly, fleetingly so. More than 90 times in his 13 letters Paul says we are “in Christ,” this union with Him is our only hope. “…you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption, so that, as it is written, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord” (1 Corinthians 1.30,31).
