Who You Are Determines What You Should Do, Part Deux!

April 21, 2024 • Ryan Clift • 1 Corinthians 6:12–20, Genesis 1:27—2:7, Psalm 139:13–14, Luke 24:37–39

Some of the Corinthians believed there was a radical disunity between their bodies and their souls, just like oil and water which meant what they did with their bodies had no impact on them. But Paul said, "Wait a minute! What you do with your bodies will affect you, just like what you do in the Body of Christ will affect the entire Body of Christ. There’s a radical unity between the body of Christ and Christ himself. It’s like chocolate milk, not oil and water. In the same way, there’s a radical unity between the body of each person and that person himself or herself. This matters because the idea that there's a radical disunity between body and soul is making a comeback.
