Key Verse<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body,<\/strong> and in your spirit, which are God’s.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u20141 Corinthians 6:20<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key Verse Thought: <\/strong>Read today\u2019s Key Verse. Each Christian was bought with a price. Do you remember what that price was? (Jesus\u2019 death on the cross because of man\u2019s sin.) Bought<\/strong> means \u201cbelievers are bought for a price; once bought, the buyer has the right of possession. In the redemptive work of Jesus, the idea is that Christ, by offering Himself for us as due satisfaction, freed us from liability in paying the debt ourselves<\/em>.\u201d Glorify<\/strong> means\u201cto render glory to God; recognize Him for who and what He is<\/em>.\u201d Once a Christian realizes what Jesus did \u2013 died for us \u2013 we are to recognize God for who He is and what He did for us. We show that by living a life pleasing to God \u2013 according to His Word, for we belong to Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emphasis: <\/strong>We are to understand that Christians are to remember the Gospel message; that Jesus saves. Christians are the Temple of God \u2013 bought with a price, which means we belong to Him and are to live a life pleasing to Him. We are to put away from us the people living in sin, but always be faithful to tell others about Jesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lesson Summary: <\/strong>First Corinthians was written to the church at Corinth that was founded on Paul\u2019s second missionary journey. It was necessary because Paul received word that error had been taught and factions had appeared in the church, dividing the church body. The people seemed to have forgotten the importance of the message \u2013 Jesus died on the cross for man\u2019s sin. The Christians were arguing, declaring they had been saved under the preaching of different men: some Paul, others Peter (Cephas), and some even said Apollos. They were focused on the messengers<\/strong><\/em>, not the message<\/strong><\/em>. Paul explained the simplicity of the message \u2013 he preached Jesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The church at Corinth had not grown in maturity as they should have \u2013 for many still lived like the lost world. Paul taught them that they were the Temple of the Lord. They were not to defile that temple by continuing in sin. Paul explained the difference between God\u2019s wisdom and the wisdom of man \u2013 for \u201cthe wisdom of this world is foolishness with God\u201d (1 Corinthians 3:19). God\u2019s people were to put away those who lived contrary to God\u2019s Word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this lesson, we will learn the following: \u201cFor ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s\u201d (1 Corinthians 6:20).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
