Ariel writes – a weekly Scriptural devotion:

I always thank my God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus. (1 Corinthians 1:4 NIV)

To whom are these words written? To humble, peaceable, pure, loving and godly Christians? Certainly not! The Corinthian church was full of proud, divisive, debaucherous, immature, and promiscuous Christians. Therefore, on what grounds does Paul thank God for this bunch of wild and wicked believers? On the grounds of their character? I don’t think so! On the grounds of their obedience? You have to be joking! On the grounds of their works? Never! Paul thanks God for them solely on the grounds of God’s grace given them in Christ Jesus. That is why when you stand there a sinner, sometimes even a hypocrite, on a Sunday morning singing songs of praise that you can still be thanked for in Jesus’ grace. It is also why when your pastor all puffed up with knowledge, sometimes even pride, writes devotions for you to read that he can still be thanked for in Jesus’ grace. Oh, what a wonderful thing it is to be found and thanked for in Jesus’ grace!
