1 Corinthians 6-8

It took me right at 15 minutes to read this passage. As Paul continues his rebuke of the believers in Corinth he comes to matter of civic legality. In 6:12 he points out; "Just because soemthing is technically legal doesn't mean that it's spiritually appropriate." We are called to live by a standard higher than most civil codes. We are part of the family of the living God ands risen Christ. We need to act in such a way that Jesus is honored and God is glorified, and not just so we won't get a ticket and fine. Paul lays down this priciple and the applies by address questions that the believers sent to him; on marriage, and on approaching spiritually confusing topics. These are lessons that I still need to understand in my life.
