1 Corinthians 6

May 18, 2025    Micah Heist

In this powerful exploration of 1 Corinthians 6, we're challenged to examine how we handle conflicts within the church. The central message reminds us that as believers, we're called to a higher standard - one that seeks reconciliation and unity rather than worldly justice. Paul's words urge us to consider: are we truly living as transformed individuals, or are we still clinging to worldly ways of resolving disputes? This passage invites us to reflect on our own behavior and to remember that we are destined to judge the world and even angels. How can we, then, trust worldly courts to settle matters between believers? We're encouraged to seek wisdom within the church community and to be willing to suffer wrong rather than bring shame to the body of Christ. This teaching isn't just about legal disputes; it's a call to live out our faith in practical, sometimes challenging ways. As we contemplate these words, let's ask ourselves: How can we better embody Christ's love and forgiveness in our relationships with fellow believers?
