GOD WILL DESTROY HIM / 1 CORINTHIANS 3:17

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 Corinthians 3:17

If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

GOD WILL DESTROY HIM / 1 CORINTHIANS 3:17

Here Paul presents one of the strongest warnings in the New Testament to anyone responsible for building or developing Christ’s church. The passage is especially relevant for those in teaching and leadership positions. If anyone defiles or corrupts God’s temple (a local congregation or a group of congregations), God Himself will punish that individual with terrible ruin and eternal death. Negligent servants corrupt and destroy Christ’s church by:

  1. Engaging in immoral behaviors and lifestyles (1 Corinthians 5:1).
  2. Promoting lies, deceptions and selfish ambition (1 Corinthians 3:3; Acts 5:1-11).
  3. Promoting false teaching, rejecting God’s original revelation and disregarding the truth of His Word (1 Timothy 4:1; Jude 1:4).
  4. Tolerating sin and worldliness among those who claim to follow Christ (1 Corinthians 5:1-2, 5-7; Revelation 3:17-18). 
  5. Attempting to build a church by worldly wisdom, human standards or messages that are not the true “gospel” (1 Corinthians 1:18-2:5; Philippians 1:15-16).
