1 Corinthians 1:9

God is faithful. Compare 1 Cor. 10:13; 1 Thess. 5:24; 2 Thess. 3:3; etc. The absolute dependability of God is the basis for Paul’s statement that the believers will be preserved unreprovable until the last. God’s promises, like His character, are unchangeable. This is a source of constant comfort to the Christian living in the increasingly unstable world of today. Called. See on Rom. 8:30; cf. chs. 9:24; 11:29. All men are called by God to enter into fellowship, or communion, with Jesus. They are called by the influences that God brings to bear upon them to lead them to renounce sin and accept salvation through Christ. Fellowship. Gr. koinonia (see on Acts 2:42; Rom. 15:26).
