Our Faithful God (1 Corinthians 1:4-9)


Today's scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:4-9

Sometimes—oftentimes—I read through passages of the Bible, and I’m overwhelmed with how much is in just a few words. Today’s verses are no exception.

We learn that we are “enriched in” Christ. He gives us the ability to speak on His behalf as we gain knowledge of His truth. We can be “
certain that everything [Paul] told [us] about our Lord Christ Jesus is true” (
CEV, v. 6).

We can “eagerly await the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,” knowing that we’re works in progress, learning more and more about what it means to live as He would live (see Philippians 1:6).

We can be confident that Jesus will “confirm [us] to the end” and one day, we will stand before the throne of the Most High God and He will see us as “blameless,” righteous, and holy.

Finally, we can be assured that our God is faithful. He never wavers, never changes. He is the same, yesterday, today, and forever. And He has called us as partners in the building of His kingdom.

We are blessed, beyond anything we could ever imagine.

Just sit and remember what God has done for you. And be grateful!
