1 Corinthians 1:4-9

"God is faithful and has called you to love in communion with his Son, Jesus Christ."

Paul writes these magnificent words to the Christians at Corinth, because of the problems there in the church. We see in verse 11 that there is quarreling over whether the baptism by Apollos, Peter or Paul is better. These are false arguments, Paul says. Be grateful for the love of God and allow that love to heal the divisions in the community. Paul tells the Corinthians that they do not lack any of the spiritual gifts and that God will not abandon them, because the love of God is steadfast.

Surely this is good news today.

Grace and peace...Bob
