1 Corinthians Part 9
Please read 1 Corinthians 6:12-20. How does Paul orient our perspective of sexual decisions being grounded in worship? How does this passage connect with Romans 12:1?
Please read 1 Corinthians 15:42-49. Why does Jesus being the prototype for our final resurrection matter? How does a proper theology of the body drive our actions today?
Please read Hosea 3. Notice the irony of Christians who have been bought buying a prostitute for sex. Why is the basis for believers sexual ethics their standing of having been purchased by Christ? (1 Corinthians 6:20). How does the image of Hosea marrying a prostitute foreshadow the work of Jesus in our lives?
What are some ways we treat sexual things casually? Jokes? Clothing/Modesty? Entertainment we consume? How do you feel like these realities have shaped your worldview?
Do you really believe your body belongs to the Lord? Or is that a difficult concept for you to grapple with? What are some changes you might make if you believed that fully in your heart?
How does the truth of the Gospel (1 Corinthians 6:19-20) and our union with Christ (1 Corinthians 6:17) drive our abstention from sexual perversion?
