  • THE POINTED ACCUSATION
    • The legal cases should have been seen as carnal

      • 1 Corinthians 6:2-3

  • THE PRACTICAL APPLICATION
    • Biblically, there are legal restrictions on believers
    • Broadly, there are lifestyle restrictions on believers
      • Believers must respond Biblically and not culturally.
      • Christian maturity is not about rights but responsibilities and restraints.
      • The reputation Jesus is more important than yours
      • Legal and relational matters between Christians are spiritual issues.
      • This teaching is in harmony with the teaching of Jesus.
        • Matthew 5:40-48
        • Matthew 18:32-35
        • Philippians 2:3-5
        • 1 Peter 2:21-25
      • Such a response is completely unnatural…it only makes sense considering the gospel.
      • None of this is possible without a covenantal connection to a church.
