1 Corinthians 1:10-13


Adam was placed by God in a garden where everything that He needed physically existed but God knew that man also needed the human touch to thrive. In His wisdom He gave Eve to Adam and Adam to Eve. More than once they both probably questioned the viability of this gift for their spiritual health....but the Almighty knew! We need other people to stand by us, celebrate with us and help us in the good times and in the bad....Be very thankful for those He places in  your life!  ALL Christians are His....all who call on His name... not the name of their minister. He did not leave us alone but gave each of us the Holy Spirit to guide us and teach us! In unity and with the power of the Holy Spirit nothing is impossible!

Paul pleaded for an outward expression that comes from an inward spirit. Not only did Paul encourage the Corinthians to speak the same thing and have external unity, he also urged them to be joined together in a unity of hearts and minds. 

1 Corinthians 1:10-13

10 Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. 11 For it has been declared to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of Chloe’s household, that there are contentions among you. 12 Now I say this, that each of you says, “I am of Paul,” or “I am of Apollos,” or “I am of Cephas,” or “I am of Christ.” 13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?
