Every Person's Servant 1 Corinthians 9:15-23 The church would be more effective in her evangelism if all those of us who are members could learn really to identify with all kinds of people. Most of us come equipped, even before we are converted, to like people who are like us. Thank you for tuning into Daily Bible Benefits Have a good and godly Day
Laying Aside Rights 1 Corinthians 9:1-14 What a lesson for all of us and especially for those who are called to be ministers of Christ’s gospel! We must be above suspicion. If we do or permit anything that might prove a hindrance to the acceptance of Christ by others, we must forego it, though reasonable in itself, that we may win them to our Savior.

Consider Christ 1 Corinthians 8:12-13 Our Lord, in the days of His flesh here on earth, was careful never to cause others to stumble. The incident in Mat 17:24-27 illustrates this. “Lest we should cause them to stumble” is a wonderful principle to follow, for it means putting Christian love into daily living. Christ died for the weaker Christian, therefore we dare not cause them to sin. To sin against another Christian is to sin against Christ! It would be better to go without meat than to make others fall, says Paul. Wiersbe’s Commentary. Thank you for tuning into Daily Bible Benefits Have a good and godly Day
Consider Your Brother’s Conscience 1 Corinthians 8:9-11 Conscience is that inner judge that condemns us when we do wrong and commends us when we do right. It “bears witness” to us (Rom 2:15 and Rom 9:1). The Christian’s conscience has been purged (Heb 9:14 and Heb 10:22) and is termed a “good conscience” (1Ti 1:5, 1Ti 1:19). Repeated sin not judged and confessed will make it a defiled conscience (Tit 1:15) and eventually a seared conscience (1Ti 4:2) that no longer convicts. We must strive to have a conscience void of offense Acts 24:16 And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men.

Consider Your Brother’s Knowledge 1 Corinthians 8:4-8 The Christian life cannot be lived in its fullness if a man is ignorant of the Word. We must always take into consideration that some Christians do not understand the blessings of liberty we have in Christ. They live in religious bondage and try to regulate their lives with rules and rituals (see Col 2:16-23). As a Christian grows in grace and knowledge, through reading and obeying the Word, he understands the truth, and the truth sets him free (Jhn 8:32). He sees knowledge as a tool with which to build, not a weapon with which to fight. (Wiersbe's commentary) Thank you for tuning into Daily Bible Benefits Have a good and godly Day
Consider Your Own Attitude 1 Corinthians 8:1-3 Too often strong Christians who know the Bible are prone to be “puffed up” when they deal with weaker Christians. Paul admits here, as well as in Rom 14:1-23, that some believers are strong in the faith and mature, while others are weak and have legalistic views of the Christian life. “Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up!” Verse 1 In fact, the man who thinks he knows everything is admitting that he knows nothing! Paul is not encouraging us to be “ignorant brethren,” but rather is warning us that a proud attitude is not Christ-like. Knowledge must be balanced with love, love for God and for our brethren. We must not judge one another or reject one another (Rom 14:4-12). Wiersbe's commentary Thank you for tuning into Daily Bible Benefits Have a good and godly Day
Marriage should not be a quick decision 1 Corinthians 7:36-40 It is next to impossible to lay down rules that fit each case when it comes to marriage. Paul warns them that they must be convinced in their own hearts, and not merely follow the crowd or try to appear superspiritual.

The responsibilities of marriage 1 Corinthians 7:32-35 We need to face the fact’s that marriage involves many cares and demands 1.Emotional Support – Being there for your spouse through life’s ups and downs, offering encouragement, love, and understanding. 2. Communication – Open and honest dialogue is essential to resolve conflicts, express needs, and maintain intimacy. 3. Commitment & Faithfulness – Staying true to vows, working through challenges, and prioritizing the relationship. 4. Financial Responsibilities – Managing money together, budgeting, and making financial decisions that impact both partners. 5. Conflict Resolution – Disagreements will arise, so learning to resolve them with patience, respect, and compromise is key. Thank you for tuning into Daily Bible Benefits Have a good and godly Day
Take into account all the factors before getting married. Marriage is a serious matter, and Christians were facing difficult times. These testings were not to cause the married to divorce or the unmarried to be frightened out of marriage (Verse 27); but due consideration had to be given to the situation at hand. Living a dedicated Christian life means sometimes forsaking even the good things of the world. Thank you for tuning into Daily Bible Benefits Have a good and godly Day
Christians Married to Unsaved Partners 1 Corinthians 7:10-24 The fact that a person becomes a Christian does not change his or her status in society. Paul tells the Corinthians not to try to “undo” their situation, but to abide in their calling and allow Christ to make the changes in His way and His time.
