Title: Put Yourself Together
Contents
The biggest and most dangerous element in the church is building a faction and fighting. The Apostle Paul, who greeted the members of the Corinthian church and spoke of their religious elements, spoke about the problems of the church in Corinth.
Today we must never forget the fact that conflict is the most fearful factor that destroys the church and is a terrible evil that obscures the glory of God. So it is the fact that the devil's greatest emphasis is on dividing people's minds, causing them to quarrel and fighting with each other, thereby breaking the church into pieces. The Corinthian church had such a dispute.
1>. cause of dispute
① It is based on pride.
I am a Pauline who is the cause of the dispute. Apollopa. it's gebapa They argued that they were Christians. This is because they think that the leader they support is better and that those who follow him are superior to each other. There are no concessions, only sharp stripe.
② It comes from one's pride.
When they boast about Paul, they boast about Apollos, they boast about Peter, and they boast about Christ. Therefore, we must make it clear again today that our pride is only in our Lord Jesus Christ.
2>. Reasons not to argue
Paul, Apollos, and Peter were not separated from each other, and only Jesus Christ can give us salvation. That's right. Today we only need to serve Jesus Christ. However, if we do not serve Jesus Christ and put people in front of us, then the church cannot help but to quarrel. And since we were baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, and we were saved through Jesus Christ, there can be no conflict today if we are in Jesus Christ.
3>. way of reconciliation
① They say the same thing.
That's right. We have to serve only Jesus Christ, only Jesus Christ as our savior, and we must serve only Jesus Christ.
② It is to have the same mind.
When we truly love the church, have the same heart and have a will to serve the Lord for the glory of God, there is no conflict.
4>. Today our church truly speaks the same thing, and let's have the same heart.
This is what our Lord rejoices in today and it is a way to unite the church.
