1Co1

What is foolishness to many is salvation to those who believe! Being a "fool" in the world's eyes has always been the way to salvation. It has never been popular to place faith in Jesus, yet He alone has the power to save us from sin and death.

Paul begins this letter urging unity among believers. It echoes back to Jesus' prayer in John 17 for unity. Satan's strategy has always been to divide and conquer! Don't let pettiness destroy the unity of God's people. Choose to forgive and move forward rather than to make your preferences the condition of relationship.

Most of the time christians are divided over petty things. Rarely is there a solid reason to not be unified. Certainly sin destroys relationships and divides us, but we should never choose to be broken over inconsequential things. Pursue unity and peace today.
