God faithfully provides sanctification in and through Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit to accomplish what He purposed from the beginning of time. We are safe in His hands, He changes us from the inside out!
May we let our light so shine before men that all are drawn to Him through the salvation of Jesus.
Paul does not praise the Corinthians for their good works as he does some other churches instead, he praises God who works in them.
When we focus on people’s faults, hope soon wanes and discouragement follows. But when we concentrate on the Lord, even the darkest hours can be filled with praise.
1 Corinthians 1:4-9
4 I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given to you by Christ Jesus, 5 that you were enriched in everything by Him in all utterance and all knowledge, 6 even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you, 7 so that you come short in no gift, eagerly waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, 8 who will also confirm you to the end, that you may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.
