Daily Walk Through the New Testament

Read 1 Corinthians 10:23-11:22

In this passage, we see 3 ways we can honor God. First, we honor God by not offending others. Many do things they know are offensive to others because they don’t think other should find them offensive. But Paul commanded, “Let no one seek his own, but each one the other’s well-being” (10:24). We do affect others and must not exercise our Christian liberties to the detriment of others. Paul also said we should not do anything that makes a fellow believer weak or stumble, for “none of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself” (Romans 14:7, 21).
Second, we honor God by submitting to others. Ephesians 5:21 echoes this command, saying we should do so out of reverence for Christ and in fear of God.
Third, we honor God by preferring others. Paul reprimanded the Corinthian believers for dividing into cliques, eating at different times, and refusing to share with the poor when they gathered to celebrate the Lord’s Supper. In honoring others, we honor Christ. How will you do that today?
