Lesson 3762

 (Lesson 3762)(05-07-22) 1st Corinthians 3:1-9

    “And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal? Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.

    In today’s quote, Paul related to the Corinthians that they were obviously not yet able to fully understand the gospel mystery. That misunderstanding caused them to put more faith in the preacher who taught them than in the gospel the preacher taught.

    Sadly, their are far too many so-called Christians who seem to have more faith in their preachers than in the gospel those preachers supposedly preach.~
