Free Bible Study: Paul’s First Epistle to the Corinthians
Today’s Lesson: Discipline of Christian Freedom
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 9.24-27
Description:
To share in the blessings is one thing, but to receive a prize is another. If the abandonment of personal rights and the identification of oneself with others for their spiritual blessing were desirable, then the Corinthians were sadly lacking. Not only would they fail to share with others in the blessing of the gospel to the extent that the apostle desired, but in the Christian race they were lagging far behind. As a stimulus to renewed consecration and effort, Paul gives yet another illustration. He makes two points the motive for competing—to gain the prize, and the means employed—self control.Scripture: 1 Corinthians 9.24-27
