Our Love For The Lord Must Be Stronger Than Any Other Love (1 Corinthians 6:12-7:24).

The Lord has placed the highest value on us: ‘you were bought with a price’ (6:20; 7:23).

Our love for Him must be stronger than any other love.

Some are under pressure, at home, from an unbelieving husband or wife. You wonder whether your Christian witness is doing any good (7:16). You feel you are getting nowhere. You feel like giving up. You feel yourself being dragged away from the Lord.

What does the Word of God say? - ‘Lead the life which the Lord has assigned’; ‘Remain with God’ (7:17,24).

A difficult situation at home is just one example of ‘the world’ trying to ‘squeeze us into its own mould’ (Romans 12:2).

The world will keep chipping away at our faith - until there’s nothing left. ‘Do not love the world or the things in the world... He who does the will of God abides for ever’ (1 John 2:17).
