Study of First Corinthians
By Steve Tackett
In the epistle to the church at Corinth, Paul deals with a challenging assembly. It was perhaps the largest of all the grace assemblies and one of the first he established in his missionary trips. Although the believers there had received the Gospel of Grace they had fallen away from some of the doctrines. In this book, Paul encourages them to return to the teaching before he came to visit them again. In spite of the problems, God’s love for them remains unmoved. He would later write to the believers in Rome, “For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:38-39).
