7.What two blessings does Paul confer on the saints in Corinth? .

Back to Study the Book of First Corinthians

Grace and peace.

Grace consists of the three elements of the Virtue of God that are freely given to us under the new covenant: the Word of God, the body and blood of Christ, and the resurrection life and power of the Holy Spirit. The term grace is used in a general sense as the blessing of God and is, in its fullest definition, the "Presence of God in Christ."

Peace is the hope-filled, calm assurance that we are in Christ and Christ is in us. Because we are an inseparable part of Christ there is no person or thing in the physical world or in the spiritual world that can harm us in any manner whatever. We are part of the resurrection of Christ. In order to overcome a saint the adversary would have to overcome the resurrection of Christ.
