1 Corinthians 10:1-13 [#17] - a podcast by Grace Bible Church - Hollidaysburg

Text: 1 Corinthians 10:1-13
Teacher: Daren Ritchey

Main Idea: External privileges don't exempt us from condemnation if we are choosing to follow sin rather than Jesus.


Intro: Is it possible to learn a good lesson from a bad example? We have been learning that chapters 8-10 are about Christian freedom. Pastor Lou has shown in chapter 8 that the exercise of my Christian freedom must always be determined by brotherly love. Paul then showed the application of that principle with his own example in chapter 9. Last Sunday Pastor Bryan presented the principle in chapter 9 that Christian freedom enables us to prioritize the gospel for the spiritual good of others. Now Paul is going to focus on how the exercise of Christian freedom impacts our own lives. Paul gives the example of the children of Israel in the Exodus and wilderness wandering. The last verse of chapter 9 is the connecting link to what Paul is about to focus on. Bible scholars and pastors take two views on what Paul means by “disqualified.” One view says that Paul is talking about service not salvation. The context shows that Paul is warning against apostasy. Apostasy involves knowing the truth, appearing to live the truth but turning away from it. Paul uses the same word in 2 Corinthians 13:5-6.
