3 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
9 God, who has called you into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful.
Two opening statements from the Apostle Paul to the new church in Corinth, the first in greeting the second in thanksgiving. Here we find a timeless letter where a shephard is leading his flock helping them discover their way to God. He instructs them to be united in thought and mind, to agree with one another and to not let anything divide them in their mission to serve God.
Where do we go from here? Pray to God, praise God and reflect on the words written by Paul in faithfulness to his church. Today we can find our strength in heeding Pauls teachings, trusting that God is stronger and wiser than we can ever hope to be and that he loves us. In this book I hope to find a map to God, spelled out by Christ's true Apostle, Paul.
30 It is because of Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God--that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. 31 Therefore, as it is written: "Let him who boasts boast in the Lord."
