How to Deal with Disorders
6:11 Some of you once lived this way. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
1 Corinthians 6:11 NET
Key Theme: We are called to live exemplary, sacrificial lives of freedom - contrary to prevailing cultural norms Character of God (not culture)
- our pattern for Christian living
When anything is tolerated, nothing is trustworthy
- Idolatry = “I am god …”
- Greed = I want …”
- Immorality = “I will…”
Outcome = mastered by what we worship; behaving like it Christian ethics = becoming who we really are Cultural norms = disorders Christian discipline = helping others say “yes” by saying “no” Ch 5 > Immoral brother – no boundaries > consequences
Ch 6 > Lawsuits – no forgiveness > revenge
Ch 6 > Immorality based on cultural norms – no idealism
- at others’ expense!
Vss. 19-20 “We are not our own; we have been bought at a price” Vs. 11 “washed, sanctified, justified” = getting ready for the resurrection Call to holy living = challenge to living freely
