The saga of "The Secret of GOD", as shown in 1Corinthians 1.1; the renewed mind and our victory as foretold.

We are now in 1Corinthinas 1 and verse 4 with our look into the redemption of man original identity by the death of the Lord Jesus, GOD's Christ of this message.


1Corinthians 1:4-9 "I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ; That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge; Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you: So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for [G553] the coming[G602] of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless[G410] in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful, by whom ye were called[G2564] unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord." (KJV)

1Corinthians 1:4-9 "I give thanks to my God always for you because of the grace of God that was given you in Christ Jesus, that in every way you were enriched in him in all speech and all knowledge— even as the testimony about Christ was confirmed among you— so that you are not lacking in any gift, as you wait for [G553] the revealing[G602] of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will sustain you to the end, guiltless[G410] in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful, by whom you were called[G2564] into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord." (ESV)

1Corinthians 1:4-9 "I am always so happy for you when I consider how greatly advantaged you are because of GOD's grace unveiled in Jesus Christ and in you. Your knowledge of Christ is based on so much more than hearsay; every aspect of your life gives eloquent expression to the rich reservoir of your union in him. You certainly have the testimony of Christ evidenced in you. (You possess full knowledge and give full expression because in you the evidence for the truth of Christ has found confirmation. ---NEB ) In [1, G553]receiving the [2, G602]revelation of Jesus Christ as the principle influence in your life (his Lordship), you prove that you lack for nothing and that his grace gift fully compliments you. (This is in such contrast to those days when under-achievement was the rule; when you felt that you were never good enough and always lagging behind. Note: [1, G553 from G575 and G1551] apekdechomai is not "eagerly waiting for," but "eagerly accepting" or to welcome with hospitality; [2, G602 from G601 from G575 and G2572] apokalupsis is the unveiling, disclosure. I don't know why most translations always want to postpone what GOD has already unveiled! ) He established you from start to finish; to stand [1, G410] vindicated in your identity in the light of day as evidenced in the Lord Jesus Christ. (The word, [1, G410 from G1 and a derivative of G1458] anegkletos, is from ana, meaning upwards, en, in and kaleo , to identify by name. Jesus gives evidence to our original identity. Compare anoche from ana + acho in Romans 3:26. ) We are [1, G2564]surnamed by GOD, he is our true lineage; he is faithful and fully persuaded about our joint participation in the fellowship of sonship; we are included in everything that our Lord Jesus Christ and the Father enjoys." (The word [1, G2564] kaleo, means to call or identify by name, to surname.)

Until next time may the LORD be with you and yours, when the LORD willing we shall again return to 1Corinthians 1 beginning at verse 10.
