December 8 - Christian Freed om - 1 Cor 8:9
Paul gives a solemn warning about our Christian freedom. 1 Corinthians tells us that as Christians we have great freedom. We have freedom from sin, sickness and death. We are free to serve Him any way we want as long as it lines up with the God’s word. We have the free choice of directing our lives under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Much of what we do is according to our conscience and what is revealed to our conscience through the Holy Spirit. To one Christian doing one thing is wrong but to another that thing may be perfectly all right to do.
Coming out of the Holiness Movement our fellowship has a real problem with the subject of drinking. The main reason we do not drink is that it has so many evil social issues that come with. We do not want to be a stumbling block to another. We are our brother’s keeper. Our lifestyle does have a bearing on our testimony. If we are doing something that really causes another person in the faith to waver, for the sake of the other person we better not do it. Everyone is accountable for their own actions but whether we realize it or not we do affect others. Remember that as you live for the Lord today. Don’t live under condemnation with this truth but use it as a guideline to success. Lord Bless.
