1 Corinthians 6:15-16 Member Of Christ's Body 11 Apr 2024

1Co 6:15 Do you not realize
that your bodies are members of Christ's body;
do you think one can take parts of Christ's body
and join them to the body of a prostitute?
Out of the question!
16 Or do you not realize that
anyone who attaches himself to a prostitute
is one body with her,
since the two, as it is said,
become one flesh.
God raised up the Lord
and he will raise us up too
by his power.

When I start to live in a new community, I need to learn about their values. Some of the values may be new to me. I may struggle to live with the new values. They need to explain how values are maintained.

Growth

When a community is serious about its values, they need to teach and instruct its members.

Prayer

Jesus, please instruct me about your values.
