Wisdom and Christian Liberty (Part A) | Rev. Paul
Description
Christian liberty is a gift, but without love, it can destroy. Discover why the Apostle Paul says being “right” isn’t enough, and how guarding the conscience of others reflects the very heart of Christ.
------
In 1 Corinthians 8, Paul addresses a dispute over eating meat sacrificed to idols, showing that knowledge alone, even if correct, can lead to pride and insensitivity. While some believers understood idols were nothing, others’ consciences were still tied to their past idol worship. Exercising liberty without considering weaker believers could damage their faith and even lead them into sin. Paul insists love must govern liberty: if an action risks causing someone to stumble, refrain from it. True maturity is measured not by what we know, but by our willingness to lay down our rights for the sake of God and others.
