The Work of Christ in (1 Corinthians chapter 1)

1. He gives grace to the saints

1 Corinthians 1:4 I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you BY JESUS CHRIST;

NOTE- God's grace is extended and given to the saints by Jesus Christ. Hence Jesus Christ is the channel through which God's children receive grace.

2. He enriches the saints

1 Corinthians 1:5 That in every thing ye are enriched BY HIM, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;

This is a sure hope for God's children to live righteously and godly in thankfulness to him who keeps us saved to the very end.
