Make Decisions To Help Others
- 1 Corinthians 8:1-9:1
- Josh Akin
Do you ever wish there were more than just the 10 Commandments? If you have a decision to make wouldn’t it be awfully convenient if the Lord just said don’t do that one?
Lord, I don’t know what college to go to!
“Thou shall not go to Virginia Tech.”
Great, thanks Lord!
Fortunately, we are led by the Holy Spirit, not the law. Love Himself is our guide. And, the Spirit teaches us to choose not by what we know, but by how we can love others.
God sees the heart. So, in a way, our words, clothes, food— all these outward things— don’t matter to Him like the heart. But what if they effect the people around us?
Chapter 8 & 9 help us make decisions in light of the people around us.
