1 Corinthians 1:4-9
4 I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given to you by Christ Jesus, 5 that you were enriched in everything by Him in all utterance and all knowledge, 6 even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you, 7 so that you come short in no gift, eagerly waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, 8 who will also confirm you to the end, that you may be blameless 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.

God’s grace richly furnishes us to know and to speak His words, bearing witness to that saving and justifying grace which is our testimony. He gives gifts to do His work as we look forward to His return as He keeps us until the end - we persevere by God’s work in us by His own righteousness that makes us blameless in the Father’s sight. Because God called us out of darkness and into His marvelous light of fellowship, so we know that faithfulness of our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ. What thanks can we not then give for all these things, both in ourselves and in others for this grace in which we stand?
