Beginning With Grace
Jan 7, 2024 • Ryan Clift
They say it’s not how you start but how you finish. The Corinthians were a mess, and Paul knew it. Instead of starting with the problems, Paul starts his letter by extending grace, reminding the Corinthians of three important things. First, they were called by God. Second, God had made them rich in Christ. And third, God will keep them till the end. Paul started with grace because he experienced and knew the grace of God. God starts with grace… it is by grace that we have been saved. If you’ve experienced and know the grace of God, then you should be extending the same to others. It does matter where you start… start with grace because a graceful word goes a long way.
