Corinth was a city known for wealth, culture, and immorality—a place where blending in was easy and standing out for Christ was hard. Yet Paul begins his letter not with a list of failures but with a reminder of their identity: they are sanctified, called, enriched by God’s grace, and strengthened to the end. In a world that constantly pressures us to conform, Paul reminds us—we are called to be different. Not because of who we are, but because of who God is: faithful, gracious, and powerful to establish His people.
