The apostle Paul wrote the letter of 1 Corinthians partly in response to some reports he had heard from Chloe’s household. Having previously spent 18 months planting this church in Corinth, he now heard that some problems had arisen in the church and which Paul knew he had to bring correction to. Yet rather than respond with anger, Paul reflects the heart of God our Father with 9 verses packed with incredible truth of their identity in Christ. Words of correction would follow in the next 16 chapters, but these first words in 9 verses would bring complete assurance that even though they would need to change, God was still for them and their identity would always remain in Christ.
