Chapter 19 of the book All of Grace
“God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ.”—1 Corinthians 1:9
The hope which filled the heart of Paul concerning the Corinthian brethren we have already seen to be full of comfort to those who trembled as to their future. But why was it that he believed that the brethren would be confirmed unto the end?
I want you to notice that he gives his reasons. Here they are: “God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ” (1Co 1:9). The apostle does not say, “You are faithful.” Alas! the faithfulness of man is a very unreliable affair; it is mere vanity. He does not say, “You have faithful ministers to lead and guide you, and therefore I trust you will be safe.” Oh, no! if we are kept by men we shall be but ill kept.
