Body

When talking about 1 Corinthians chapter 6, I think we have a tendency to focus on the first verse, and the first verse is certainly important and a major idea in the passage but I want us to go deeper. Let's move beyond the first verse!

Christians need to ensure their actions reflect a theology of regeneration (1-6).

God's people are especially equipped to discern (1-3).

The world is especially unequipped to discern (4).

Therefore, God's people should carefully consider who is best equipped to help settle problems (5-6).

MTR: Evaluate your sources; are you seeking counsel from appropriate sources?

Christians need to take careful stock of how their life reflects the Gospel (7-10).

Don't get caught up in artificial worldly values (7-8).

Recognize the behaviors characteristic of the unredeemed (9-10)

MTR: Carefully look for areas where you have allowed yourself to behave like the unredeemed.

Christians need to carefully reflect on how Christ has changed them (11)

The Christian has been washed.

The Christians has been sanctified.

The Christian has been justified.

MTR: Reflect on the gift that Christ has given you and thank Jesus for the cross.
