A Wake Up Call From God

Paul’s words in 1 Corinthians 6 are a spiritual wake-up call: God’s people must not drag one another into secular courts over personal disputes. Such lawsuits tarnish the gospel, ignore our future role in God’s kingdom, violate the way Christ designed His church, and contradict the new identity we have received through being washed, sanctified, and justified in Jesus. The passage presses each believer to prize the reputation of Christ above personal rights and to live in a way that makes the watching world ask about the hope within us.
