God Is Faithful

1 Corinthians 1:1–9  (ID: 1589)

If the apostle Paul could write a letter to your church, what would he say? As he opened his first letter to the Corinthians, he affirmed God’s grace and faithfulness. Alistair Begg describes the firm foundation of God’s church, noting, like Paul, that our confidence lies in God’s ultimate purpose and faithfulness, not our dull routines or feverish activities.

Greeting

1Paul, called by the will of God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus, and our brother Sosthenes,

2To the church of God that is in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints together with all those who in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both their Lord and ours:

3Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Thanksgiving

4I give thanks to my God always for you because of the grace of God that was given you in Christ Jesus, 5that in every way you were enriched in him in all speech and all knowledge— 6even as the testimony about Christ was confirmed among you— 7so that you are not lacking in any gift, as you wait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ, 8who will sustain you to the end, guiltless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
