Bible study on 1 Corinthians – Chapter 6
Dear brothers and sisters,
In this bible study on the 6th chapter on the book of Romans, we will discuss the following subjects:
- Lawsuits among believers
- Sexual immorality
Lawsuits among believers
This chapters first deals with the situation in which we decide to start lawsuits amongst believers. First, Paul asks us if we are able to make the correct decisions to judge someone. The correct answer is of course that we are not, the only one that is able to judge is God. We should never be hasty to start lawsuits and especially against other believers, because it will reflect very bad on us as Christians. What will unbelievers think if they see Christians bringing each other to God? It will do so much damage, because they will see a house divided. They will see how you as a Christian do not trust on God, but more on a worldly judgement. It shows them that you are not able to forgive. Ask God to judge and to solve a dispute instead of bringing it before a court.
Sexual immorality
That God gave you a free will, does not mean that you are free to do whatever you want. You need to view your body as the House of God and treat it as such. For this reason God really hates sexual immorality, because it is an attack on His house. God wants us to flee from sexual immorality, because all other sins are outside our body, but sexual sins are an attack on our own body! Therefore honor God with your bodies!
