EVERYTHING FOR THE GLORY OF GOD

in HeartChurch5 years ago

I invite you to reflect on what the apostle Paul refers to in the following biblical verses:

1 Corinthians 10: 23-29
23 Everything is lawful for me, but not everything suits me; Everything is lawful to me, but not everything edifies.
24 None seek their own good, but that of the other.
25 Of all that is sold in the butcher shop, eat, without asking anything for reasons of conscience;
26 For the earth is the Lord's and his fullness.
27 If any unbeliever invites you, and you want to go, from everything that comes before you eat, without asking anything for reasons of conscience.
28 But if someone told you: This was sacrificed to idols; do not eat it, because of the one who declared it, and for reasons of conscience; because of the Lord is the earth and its fullness.
29 Consciousness, I say, not yours, but that of the other. Why should my freedom be judged by the conscience of another?
(Reina-Valera 1960 (RVR1960).

The apostle Paul begins by saying that all the things that man wants to practice are lawful, that is to say that he is allowed by law or that the person acts according to morality. However, he notes that not everything is suitable even if it is lawful because everything that exists in this life belongs to God but there are some things that do not glorify God and can hurt others.

Love is what moves the world and it is precisely love that serves as an arbitrator to be able to act wisely in things that you think is convenient to practice.

Some people refrain from eating some things and others do not, but we must at all times for the sake of conscience eat everything unless it is sacrificed to idols.

God made us free from all slavery and we are no longer slaves of the past or the present because Jesus Christ carried the yoke of Christ that set us free and restored us.

We must do everything for the glory of God and not for men in the freedom that is in Christ Jesus.

It is wise to act according to what the Bible establishes and everything we do we must do for the glory of God.
