The Danger of a Little Yeast – 1 Corinthians 5:6-8
Sin in my life is like yeast, starting off little, but growing over time. Don’t give the devil a foothold by accepting sin in your life.
But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. (2 Cor. 4:7 NIV)
Sin in my life is like yeast, starting off little, but growing over time. Don’t give the devil a foothold by accepting sin in your life.
Be as shrewd as a snake and as innocent as a dove. Walk through this life with your eyes wide open. And seek to live a holy life.
God saved us, and called us to live a holy life. And it is by his grace and purpose. The call to holiness is a privilege he gives us.
God has called us to live holy lives, committed to him. And this is especially true concerning sexual immorality. Be distinct from our culture.
Being a church that tolerates immorality within the body is a recipe for disaster. Do not give the culture a foothold within the body.
What do you do when you come into God’s presence? God told Moses to remove his shoes because he was standing on holy ground.
Paul describes the mystery of Christ as being Christ in us. We are the temple he lives in. And that magnifies the call for personal holiness.
Peter’s challenge to us, as obedient children of God, is set our hope on the grace to be given us, and to be holy in all we do.
God is my Father, and I am his child. Because of that, Paul urges me to actively work toward perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.
As a believer, I am called to honor God with all that I am, including my body and activities. Live as though he were with you all the time.
