Paul Gives Thanks to God
1 Corinthians 1:4-9 (NLT)
4 I always thank my God for you and for the gracious gifts he has given you, now that you belong to Christ Jesus. 5 Through him, God has enriched your church in every way—with all of your eloquent words and all of your knowledge. 6 This confirms that what I told you about Christ is true. 7 Now you have every spiritual gift you need as you eagerly wait for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ. 8 He will keep you strong to the end so that you will be free from all blame on the day when our Lord Jesus Christ returns. 9 God will do this, for he is faithful to do what he says, and he has invited you into partnership with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
- Give thanks to God for your brothers and sisters in Christ.
- Give thanks for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
- God gives us every spiritual gift we need to carry out the plan He has for our lives.
- God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.
- There is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus.
- God will do whatever He says He will do.
- Together with Christ, we are heirs of God’s glory.
- One cannot fully enjoy fellowship with Christ while living outside the will of God.
I am writing to God’s church in Corinth, to you who have been called by God to be his own holy people. He made you holy by means of Christ Jesus, just as he did for all people everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours. (1 Corinthians 1:2 NLT)
