It is important, as Christians, to stand fast in the faith. Let charity abound in our lives, and truly love the Lord Jesus.
Matthew 22 :29,30 (KJV)
29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in...
We won’t ever know what is God’s Word and His scriptures unless we read them for ourselves. Don’t just take people’s word for it.
1 Corinthians 15 :16-18 (KJV)
16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
18...
Our faith means nothing if Jesus never rose from the grave. Thankfully, He defeated the grave and is alive and working today.
1 Corinthians 14 :23-26 (KJV)
23 If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not...
The speaking of Tongues should only be done in a church setting if there is an interpreter. Otherwise, there is only confusion.
1 Corinthians 13 :4-7 (KJV)
4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not...
Charity causes us to do acts of kindness towards others. We do this also as a humble servant of God, not looking for recognition.
1 Corinthians 12:3 (KJV)
3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.
Every person’s spiritual giftings are important in God’s sight. What matters is if we use them for Him or not.
1 Corinthians 11:23-25 (KJV)
23 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:
24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, this cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
We remember Jesus’s body and His sacrifice for sins on the cross when we eat the bread and drink the cup in communion.
1 Corinthians 10 :7-9 (KJV)
7 Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
8 Neither let...
We must learn to sacrifice our lives and our time to God, in order to be saved. Anything else is sacrificing to the devil.
1 Corinthians 9:24-27 (KJV)
24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:
27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
It is important that we start the race for Jesus and the gospel’s sake, and then finish it well. Rewards are then given out.
1 Corinthians 8 :5,6 (KJV)
5 For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)
6 But to us there is but...
There is only one God in the heavens and earth. All other gods are false, which leads to idolatry and a falling away from God.
1 Corinthians 7:3-5 (KJV)
3 Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.
4 The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.
5 Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.
Jesus is the only one who can save our marriage. His presence alone will bring the love that we are missing now.
1 Corinthians 7:1-3 (KJV)
1 Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
3 Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.
While dating, we respect the other person enough to keep sexual intimacy in marriage. This love and respect continue in marriage.
1 Corinthians 6 :15 (KJV)
15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid....
Sexual sin is destroying marriages, our relationship with our spouse, and more importantly our relationship with God, who saves.
1 Corinthians 6:15,16 (KJV)
15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.
16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
Hell is the most terrifying place of all. It even terrifies me to even think about it. That is why I pray for forgiveness daily.
1 Corinthians 5 :9-11 (KJV)
9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:
10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or...
God hates fornication. This very sin is causing more people to leave the faith than anything else. People need to repent.
1 Corinthians 4:1-4 (KJV)
1 Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.
2 Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man’s judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.
4 For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.
