07 - Carnal Christians

1 Corinthians 3:1-9

March 14, 2021 • Pastor Ronald H. Gann

From 1 Corinthians 1:18 to Chapter 2:16, Paul points out that the Corinthians were divided because of worldliness; primarily because they had an insatiable appetite for worldly thinking. In 1 Corinthians 3:1-9, the apostle Paul shows the Corinthians that they also were divided because of their carnality, as it was evident that they were ruled by, and subject to, and under the influence of, fleshly passions, sensual appetites, and worldly desires. Our ultimate triumph over carnality and the world is certain, but our continue struggle with both in this life is also certain. We will win the ultimate battle, but we can and often do lose a lot of skirmishes along the way.
