1 Corinthians 1:1-9 God’s church in an ungodly environment When the world's sinfulness infiltrates our lives, our spiritual life is inevitably affected. Called by God If you place your trust in Christ alone for salvation from sin and eternal death, you will undergo a transformative process through God's sanctifying power, earning the designation of being called His saints. As we live our sanctified Christian life, we must exercise the utmost caution in our actions and choices. Enriched by God God has sanctified us and granted us spiritual gifts so that we may serve one another within the Church of God. We are to stand before the righteous judge and are accountable for the gifts bestowed upon us. Preserved by God Focus on Christ who has called you into His fellowship. God, in His faithfulness, directs us towards attaining complete perfection in Him.
