HEAR Journaling - 1 Corinthians Chapter 8
Highlight – 1 Corinthians Chapter 8 New Living Translation
9 But you must be careful so that your freedom does not cause others with a weaker conscience to stumble. 10 For if others see you—with your “superior knowledge”—eating in the temple of an idol, won’t they be encouraged to violate their conscience by eating food that has been offered to an idol? 11 So because of your superior knowledge, a weak believer[b] for whom Christ died will be destroyed. 12 And when you sin against other believers[c] by encouraging them to do something they believe is wrong, you are sinning against Christ. 13 So if what I eat causes another believer to sin, I will never eat meat again as long as I live—for I don’t want to cause another believer to stumble.
Explain – Paul cautions the believers in Corinth not to engage in things that may cause another believer to stumble. He says that it is a sin against another believer to encourage them to do something they believe is wrong, also a sin against Christ.
Apply – We should be mindful of our surroundings and those that are watching. We should follow the leading of the Holy Spirit so that we are not a stumbling block for other believers, but rather an example of living a Christ like life.
Respond – Lord, help me to be mindful of my surroundings and those that are watching. Help me follow You, Holy Spirit, so that I am not a stumbling block for other believers, but rather living a Christ like life.
