When you become qualified

“By ourselves we are not qualified to claim that anything comes from us. Rather, our credentials come from God…” (2 Cor. 3:5)

God makes qualified those whom He calls

God does not call “qualified” people because God’s Word says that there are none that are qualified. “None are good; not even one.” (Rom 3:12). Instead, He makes qualified those He calls by His equipping them by the gifts of the Spirit. Therefore, He is the one who does the qualifying of those He calls, not we. 

Pray that you may become fully qualified 

“And we pray for this: that you may become fully qualified.” (2 Cor. 13:9)

Qualified to encourage others with sound teaching 

“…holding fast to the faithful Message which he has received, so that he may be well qualified both to encourage others with sound teaching and to reply successfully to opponents.” (Titus 1:9)

Therefore…

“…giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in Light.” (Col. 1:12 NASB)

“And the [instructions] which you have heard from me along with many witnesses, transmit and entrust [as a deposit] to reliable and faithful men who will be competent and qualified to teach others also.” (2 Tim. 2:2 AM)
