What a Verse....

1 Corinthians 1:18
Christ the Wisdom and Power of God
"For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God." (ESV)

This ventures away from your topic, but how encouraging is that word being? I mean we are not just saved by God, we are being saved. Forever and Always. It is like Johnathan Edwards' "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God". We are being held over the fire by a God who at any second could let us fall into its' flames. We not only need God to save us, but to keep saving us, and this passage comforts me beacuse I know I am "being saved"!
