May we realize, more and more, our complete dependence on God. May we also think deeply of how grateful and humble we ought to be.

“God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ.” —1 Corinthians 1:9”

“I want you to notice that [Paul] gives his reasons. Here they are: “God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ.” The apostle does not say, “You are faithful.” Alas! the faithfulness of man is a very unreliable affair; it is mere vanity. He does not say, “You have faithful ministers to lead and guide you, and therefore I trust you will be safe.” Oh, no! if we are kept by men we shall be but ill kept.”

He puts it, “God is faithful.” If we are found faithful, it will be because God is faithful. On the faithfulness of our covenant God, the whole burden of our salvation must rest. On this glorious attribute of God the matter hinges. We are variable as the wind, frail as a spider’s web, weak as water. No dependence can be placed upon our natural qualities, or our spiritual attainments; but God abideth faithful.”

Praise God! He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself.

Do you have any good Spurgeon book recommendations as a first? I've listened to tons of his sermons but haven't read his books.

"All of Grace" by Spurgeon is a great read. It's addressed to someone who is new to the faith or curious about Jesus but even I got a lot out of it, having been a Christian for 23+ years.
