—1 Corinthians 1:1-9
by: Victoria Shephard.
This passage tells us that we are “called into fellowship with His Son” (v. 9). This calling makes us adopted sons and daughters, and makes us brothers and sisters. Through God’s calling we become the spiritual descendants of Abraham, related through our common Father, God. Siblings do fight, and often have little in common, but they love each other all the same. Quarrels will happen, but they do not have to turn into bitter rivalries. For example, I have little in common with my sister, but I love her anyway. We quarrel, but the quarrels do not become rivalries.
