LESSON TEN The preacher Paul wrote two letters to the church in the city of Corinth (in Greece). In both letters, Paul appealed to them to be completely united: to work together with only one thought and purpose. Why did Paul tell the Good News without using the
language of man's wisdom? (See 1 Corinthians 1:17.) "For the message of Christ's death on the cross is:
Read 1 Corinthians 1:18-28. Notice that:
NOTE: IF YOU WANT TO BE USED OF GOD IN A MIGHTY WAY, YOU'VE GOT TO BE WILLING TO BE "FOOLISH" IN THE EYES OF THE WORLD! Who then can boast in God's
presence? (See 1 Co. 1:29.) In 1 Corinthians 2:1-2, Paul said
that he did not use long words and great learning when he came to preach God's secret
truth. Why? (See verse 2.) Read 1 Corinthians 2:6-9. Notice that there are three kinds of wisdom:
Why cannot the man who does not have God's Spirit
(the natural man) receive the gifts that come from God's Spirit? (See 1 Corinthians
2:14.) What proves that some Christians are still
children in the faith, or "men of this world"? (1 Corinthians 3:3.) What is God's temple? (1 Corinthians 3:16.) In 1 Corinthians 5:9-13, the Holy Bible says you
should not associate with immoral people. This does not mean unbelievers - to avoid
them you would have to get out of the world completely! What does it mean?
(See verse 11.) Your body is a part of the body of Christ.
Read 1 Corinthians 6:15-20. This is why the Holy Bible warns us to avoid
immorality. Every other sin a man commits is without the body; but the man who
commits fornication sins against (answer)? Why should we use our bodies for God's glory? (Vs. 19 & 20)
Read the command given to married people in 1
Corinthians 7:10-11. A married woman must not leave her husband. What must
she do, if she does? What is one way in which we should be careful
towards our brothers (and sisters) in the faith? (1 Corinthians 8:9.) How should those that preach the Good News get
their living? (1 Corinthians 9:1-14.) [See also: Galatians 6:6; Matthew
10:10; 1 Timothy 5:17-18.] Every temptation that has come your way is the
kind that normally comes to people. What will God give you at the time you are
tempted? (1 Corinthians 10:13.) What is God's chain of command? That is, who is supreme (the head) and then next in command, and so on? (1 Co. 11:3.)
Chapters 12, 13, and 14 of 1 Corinthians deal with the gifts of the Holy Spirit, their operation, and worship in the church. It would be well for you to read these chapters through several times until you are familiar with them. List the nine gifts of the Spirit which are mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12:7-11 on a separate page*. Keep this extra page in a file with your Bible studies (either file it in a hard-copy [paper] file or in one of your computer files). *WARNING! Do NOT omit this part of the lesson. You will need this information to help you be super-productive for God! And to access THE BEST God has ... so you can help others! The Holy Bible says to set your heart on the more important gifts. Best of all, however, is the way of LOVE. Read Chapter 13. Strive for LOVE, and desire spiritual gifts.
What is of the greatest importance? (1 Co.
15:3-4.) Why should you always keep busy in your work for
the Lord? (1 Co. 15:58.) How should we do all our work? (1
Corinthians 16:14.) Do NOT try to work together as "equals"
with those who are unbelievers, for it cannot be done. Why? (Read 2
Corinthians 6:14-18.) Congratulations! You have just studied through every book in the New Testament. This is just the beginning of many wonderful experiences you will have in the Word of God! Remember to share God's Word with those who do not have it. Many people do not know that God loves them and sent his Son, Jesus, to die for their sins on the cross ... and that he is ALIVE ... waiting to save them!
