The church Paul established in Corinth was filled with both Jews and newly converted Gentiles. Although he spent a year and a half with the church at Corinth, teaching them God’s Word and the attributes of godliness, they continued to struggle with self-discipline and were setting a poor example for their pagan neighbors. Paul felt responsible for this baby church filled with new Christians who struggled with previous worldly influence. Paul wrote a letter to them, admonishing them and encouraging behaviors that would honor God. A foundation of faith had been established for the church to build on, but many were straying from godly behavior and were beginning to look like the world.
Some questions we will discuss next week:
- What does it mean to be revealed by fire?
- What does it mean to live honorably?
- What is the cost of living honorably as unto God?
Ask God this week to open our eyes to a view of things more eternal.
God Bless !!!
