Introduction Chapter 6 ends the first section of the book of 1 Corinthians. The problem in the Corinthian church was a lack of unity.

The Type of Biblical loves are explored to show that Eros (romantic) love is only to be celebrated within the Marriage Covenant and that Singles and Widows and Widowers are to refrain from fornication outside of Marriage. The gifts of singleness or marriage is looked at from scripture, and all Christians should be living their life for God and for His Glory, that should be our main purpose in life as a born again, justified believer in Jesus Christ.

The most well known statements of the Lord Jesus is recorded in John 3.16. God gave his son that whoever believes in him would not perish but have eternal life. When Jesus prayed to the Father the night he was betrayed, he defined what eternal life is: "that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent." As glorious as it is to know life on the other side of the grave, in large measure, eternal life is knowng the Lord in the now. Is it really possible to have that experience? And how does this relate to Deuteronomy 14 when Moses reminds the people of food laws and the tithe? They really do go together! How so? Come with the Grace United crew as we discover how we can know the Lord in the now.

Imagers of God actually killing fellow imagers of God with the sanction, with the approval, with the command of one's respective government. It was no different with Israel, as the Lord commanded his people to go to war. However Moses gave instructions about how soidiers were to ready themselves in preparation to fight against their enemy. What were those instructions? Is engaging in warfare proper for God's people today? Come with the Grace United crew as we discover anew and afresh of God's dealing with warfare, from the perspective of his holiness.
