Paul has told the Christians spouse who is married to an unbeliever to remain with that person as long as the unbeliever can remain with the Christian. Now, in the following verse, he explains a good reason for this: 1 Corinthians 7:16 “For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? [...] There are times when a person becomes a Christian that their spouse remains unsaved. What is a Christian man or woman to do when they are faced with these situations? The apostle Paul provides guidance to us in 1 Corinthians 7:12-15. 1 Corinthians 7:12-15 “But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If [...] Marriage is a picture of the relationship between the church and Jesus Christ. Jesus is referred to in the Bible as the Bridegroom, and the church is referred to as the bride. In 1 Corinthians 7:10,11, Paul talks about marriage and divorce. We can have some questions answered regarding marriage and divorce, as well [...] Paul touched on this in the previous passage, and addresses this again, that there should be nothing that comes between us and the Lord.

As we read these verses, we can read the practical, Godly wisdom from God, [...] We owe it to the Lord to do good for Him. We owe Him this because of what He did for us. Not everyone is aware of this obligation that we have to God. Paul talks in 1 Corinthians 6 about avoiding sin, specifically about avoiding the sin of lust. He talks about both [...] Christians as a collective unit today are supposed to represent the body of Christ. The world should look at the Christian community and see Christ walking on earth. How we live for Christ today is a direct reflection of Jesus Christ to the world. Look at the analogy which Paul makes to the wayward [...] We often talk about having our heart right with the Lord, as in a good prayer life and spending time studying the Bible.
