The fellowship of the Son of God 1 Corinthians 1:1-9: Paul was chosen by God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus. God used him to write several New Testament books. Sosthenes was a brother that also had a part in the writing of First Corinthians. We met Sosthenes in Acts 18:17 where the bible says, "Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. And Gallio cared for none of those things."

This letter was written to God's church in Corinth. The church of God is people that have been set apart by calling on the name of the Lord in humble obedience. Paul's desire was that these brethren be blessed with God's grace and peace. God had enriched these people both to understand and to speak of salvation in Christ. The wisdom and knowledge to live the best life are placed within the word of God. Paul used the word of God as the final authority to solve the problems in the church at Corinth. We should follow His example.

Those that wait for the second coming of Christ will not miss out on any blessing. At the second coming physical bodies will be raised and the righteous will become incorruptible. God will preserve you for His heavenly kingdom even if you are on life's other side. When you die your soul returns to God for His keeping. "Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it." (Ecclesiastes 12:7) It is essential that we become blameless in order to prepare for eternity.
