1 Corinthians 1:1-9

The story of the Christian life, has a shape, and Jesus is its shaper at every point. He shapes your past story -  v2 called to be saints together with all those who in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both their Lord and ours…He shapes your present story - v5-7 ...that in every way you were enriched in him in all speech and all knowledge— 6 even as the testimony about Christ was confirmed among you— 7 so that you are not lacking in any gift, as you wait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ. He shapes your future story - v7-9 as you wait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ, 8 who will sustain you to the end, guiltless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
