1 Corinthians 10:14-11:1
Flee from idolatry. Paul speak to sensible people; judge for yourselves what Paul say. There is one loaf, we, who are many, are one body, for we all partake of the one loaf. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too.
"Everything is permissible" - but not everything is beneficial."Everything is permissible"- but not everything is constructive. Nobody should seek his own good, but the good of others.
Whether you eat of drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. Do not cause anyone to stumble.
Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.
Christian must choose between the Lord and idols. There can be no compromise. As far as meat is concerned, the rule is unselfish concern for the good of others.
Why?
The cup of blessing/thanksgiving: The name given to the third cup in the Passover feast, over which a prayer of thanksgiving was said. This may well have been the cup with which Jesus instituted his memorial Supper.
Sensible people knows what he is doing, judge myself what I heard and what I am doing. For a christian should not be a fool.
Christian is freedom for everything on the world is the Lord's, and everything in it. But for the others good, we have to seek good of others.
Paul did a good example to us, he follow the example of Christ. forsake his own good but for the good of others- our salvation.
How?
Seek good no for my own but for others. Always judge myself, does this action is good to whom? Does it all for the glory of God?
