1Cor 1:9 “God is faithful, by whom ye were called
unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.”
The confirmation of our blamelessness (vs 8), is founded upon
God’s faithfulness (vs 9). He who had
begun a good work in us, and carried it on thus far, would not leave it
unfinished. Not upon the principle of strict justice, but gracious absolution;
not in rigorous law, but from rich and free grace. How glorious is our hope in
such a privilege, that His power subdues our corruption, and allows us
fellowship in Jesus; He who has called us is faithful and will do it (1
Th 5:24). Our ability to grasp the magnitude of our sin, multiplies our ability
to grasp the grace and faithfulness of His love through Jesus.
Fellowship with the Father and the Son is most vivid and
sweet; and Christian joy is greatest, by way of it, even when the cross is
heaviest… HSAY
