1 Corinthians 1
1Paul called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother, 2Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both their's and our's: 3Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

Are you called of Jesus Christ through the will of God?


This is to the local church that met at a place called Corinth. It is written to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus - that is what being a saint is - all that in every place who call on the name of the Lord. I wonder why Paul said both their's and ours? At any rate, he is wishing us God's best, "Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ."

What are your thoughts?

In His abundance,
brother John
