The Church at Corinth Is Born!

Paul defines what or who the church is:
To them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call on the Name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours
The church is the community of saints in the world who have been called out of the world and out of darkness; saved from their sins by the gospel of Jesus Christ; .......To say GRACE to someone is to wish the favor of God to be upon or toward them. What greater blessing could be conferred and communicated to someone, but that God would be GRACIOUS to them?
