BABES IN CHRIST Monday
December 7, 2015
Text: 1 Corinthians 3:1 – 4 Memory verse: v 1
Paul
reproved the Corinthians for their contentions (3:1 – 4) and he called them
babes in Christ. Paul used plain language which suit the people better than
deeper mysteries to challenge their carnality. Contentions and quarrels about
religion are sad evidences of carnality. True religion makes men peaceable, not
contentious. Being carnal as Paul used it is having little religious knowledge
or spiritual discernment; being still much under the influence of evil.
Many
Christians show themselves as not matured yet, by vain-glorious strife,
eagerness for dispute, and readiness to despise and speaking evil of others.
These are signs of being led by personal desire. Mature believers are in tune
with God’s desires. How much influence do our desires have on our life? Our
goals should be to let God’s desires be ours. Being controlled by your own
desires will stunt your growth. Are you still a babe in Christ? Grow up now.
Food for Thought: Hebrews 5:13
Prayer: Lord crucify my own desires in me and let yours take precedence in my life in Jesus name.
