Divisions in Corinth caused by elevating certain teachers and tearing down others are addressed in the passage. The topic of proper judgment is dealt with. The key to proper judgment is humility, and the key to humility is recognizing the grace of God in the Lord Jesus Christ.



1 Corinthians

The book of 1 Corinthians was written to a troubled yet gifted church. Paul, an apostle of God, through the inspiration of the Spirit addresses a number of issues that are so relevant to today's church. He address divisions, the Lord's supper, the importance of the resurrection, sexual immorality, marriage, spiritual gifts, and much more. He applies the gospel to each issue. Certainly we need to listen to God's word as these issues are addressed.
