Gifted to Serveনমুনা

The Corinthian culture, like our own, had allowed the world’s standards to govern their morality as opposed to God’s word. The church wanted to believe and accept what the culture dictated. Paul knew that if the church made allowances for sin, the church would be infected and weakened by that choice. God created us as sexual people, made the sexual relationship a gift to our lives, and then provided very clear direction on how people should honor and appreciate his gift. The Corinthian attitude toward the sin of sexual immorality was much like the prevailing attitude people have today. Paul writes with clarity and conviction, knowing that the problem would destroy the church if the people remained unconvinced.

“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God” (Matthew 5:8).
