Enriched and United in Christ

Corinthians 1:5, 8 

"That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, 

and in all knowledge; Who shall also confirm you unto 

the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of 

our Lord Jesus Christ." 

    We have been sanctified in Christ in the purpose of God, but we must make our calling sure by living as saints. It was enough for Paul, if men called on Jesus as their Lord. Such he could receive as brothers. There was no strain of narrow sectarianism in his nature.
    If we would live a true life, we must draw on Jesus Christ. Our riches are in Him, awaiting our claiming and use. The unsearchable riches of Christ are at our disposal, but we must appropriate and use them. Let us begin to live as God’s heirs. Utterance and knowledge are ours through the Holy Spirit. We have looked into ourselves for them. That is the mistake! 
    We must look up and reach down. God has called us into partnership with His Son. We share His sorrows, sufferings, and labors for a world’s conversion; He bids us share in His grace. The perfecting is the weaving together and becoming a part of, as 1 Cor. 1:10 explains; "Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment". Paul’s purpose for this Epistle was the ending of the strife that had divided the Corinthian church, and is intended for the Christian churches of all Generations.
Amen!
