1 Corinthians 3:1-9
You are mere men, as worldly: there is jealousy and quarreling among you.
Neither he who plants nor he who waters in anything, but only God, who makes things grow. Each will be rewarded according to his own labor form the Lord.
We are God's fellow workers: you are God's field, God's building.
Why?
Paul encouraged those men in Corinthians church, for jealously and quarreling are not spiritual life, it like a child can't eat food as mature man. Leave all worldly mind, what we do is our mission for the Lord, we are his fellow workers.
We preach gospel to the people, they are the field of God, we do our labor, then we will have reward from our labor. Don't think I can cover everything.
Jealousy and quarreling are always existing in our heart, for we like to compare with friend, colleagues or brothers. We want the equal right or equal treatment, but actually everyone is not the same, we have different face, different parent and different talent. Walk my way that the Lord has arranged for me, according to my gift to show the witness to glorify name of the Lord.
Jealousy and quarreling make us detestable and unwelcome people. Jealousy gives birth of bitterness and speak cruel words, quarreling makes our friends keep away from us.
Christian is a fellow worker of the Lord. Out identity.
How?
Do our part that I can do, don't think I can do everything and preach gospel let everyone around me will become Christian. Do labor of my part. Stop jealous and quarrel.
