1 Corinthians 1:1-3

We were known before our birth destined to be followers of the Most High, Jesus Christ. As believers we are sanctified by the power of the Holy Spirit to be doers and not just hearers so that our lives may reflect His glory to others. Our ultimate goal is to share His love through the salvation He provided in Christ with as many who will listen. The Father wants no one to perish but all to have the chance of eternal life with their Creator.

 Without Christ within nothing is possible.

United, in the power of the Holy Spirit, nothing is impossible.

The work of Jesus Christ makes a believer holy forever in God’s eyes. But in everyday living, sanctification involves small, daily changes. This is why Paul could call the Corinthian believers to become saints, even though the problems in their church testified that they were far from the goal of holiness.

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

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

²² even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference;
