We had a good start in chapter 6 today, looking into v.1-2. The issue of frivolous lawsuits because of carnality among the members, and how it was affecting their testimony in the community. The Corinthians lost sight of the fact that they were to protect the testimony of Christ, by putting others first and bearing one another’s burdens, fulfilling the law of Christ – Galatians 6:2. They allowed their pride and fleshly desires to take precedence over their responsibility to John 13:35.
Please take a few minutes and read the scriptures at the bottom of the board, and the sobering reality that the Bema / Reward judgment seat of Christ is on the horizon for all of us. Our reward will determine our responsibility in the millennium and eternity future. Everyday is the test of who will have victory in our lives — the new man that we are in Christ, or the old man, that we have through natural birth. It is a constant battle! Enjoy the lesson!
