The Road of Blessing: The ultimate destination—heaven

The church in Corinth struggled to live in a decadent culture and not allow the standards of the culture to become the standards of the church. Paul spent a lot of time talking to the Corinthians about the transforming power of the Holy Spirit. In chapters 4 and 5, Paul talks about the paradox of our temporal human bodies and the eternal nature of everything heavenly. Paul’s perspective is still crucial for the believer today. Our earthly blessing will result from focusing on the matters that matter most.

For Sanctification: The Corinthian culture was disrespectful and often antagonistic to the early church. It would have been easier and safer for them to withdraw from society. Instead, Paul called the church to be ambassadors to their culture, keeping the proper perspective on their earthly lives. How are you an ambassador for Christ? Who is going to heaven because you influenced them on earth?
