Paul warns the Corinthians, and us, that when we let sin creep in and go unrecognized or unrepentant, it doesn’t just slow our spiritual growth; it can completely derail it. Like the early believers, it’s easy to blend in with culture, to justify what God calls us to turn from. But Paul reminds us that when we were washed and saved, we made a commitment to leave that old life behind. The grace of Jesus is powerful enough to cover even the worst sins, but it also calls us to holiness and transformation.
