(Lesson 2868)(11-05-19) 1 Corinthians 7:17-24
“But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches. Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised. Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God. Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called. Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather. For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ's servant. Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men. Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.”
In today’s lesson, Paul commanded that those who come to believe in Jesus Christ, taking on the responsibility of ministering for the Lord, should make no specific changes to what they otherwise do, maintaining their earthly committments within the boundaries of the gospel.~
