CARRY THEM … AS A NURSE / NUMBERS 11:12

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Numbers 11:12

Have I conceived all this people? have I begotten them, that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing father beareth the sucking child, unto the land which thou swarest unto their fathers?

CARRY THEM … AS A NURSE / NUMBERS 11:12

Moses expected to lead a triumphant army into the promised land. Instead, the people were acting like spiritual babies. Moses felt it was too much for him to bear the responsibility of all the needs and complaints. So, God took off the Spirit that was on Moses and put in on the seventy elders to help him in spiritual leadership (Numbers 11:16-17). Thus, Moses knew that by the Spirit’s power he could face the challenges of any task to which God called him. Then he knew that he did not have to bear the burdens in his own strength.

THE RABBLE … BEGAN TO CRAVE / NUMBERS 11:4

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Numbers 11:4

And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?

THE RABBLE … BEGAN TO CRAVE / NUMBERS 11:4

The people in this mob, or unruly crowd, were not Israelites. Rather, they joined Israel during the exodus (Exodus 12:38). They influenced Israel to rebel against God and caused them to hunger after the vain pleasures of Egypt (Numbers 11:5).

THE PEOPLE COMPLAINED / NUMBERS 11:1

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Numbers 11:1

And when the people complained, it displeased the Lord: and the Lord heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the Lord burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp.

THE PEOPLE COMPLAINED / NUMBERS 11:1

After only three days into their journey (Numbers 10:33), the people began to grumble and complain because the journey was more difficult than they had anticipated.

  1. They quickly forgot their deliverance from slavery and God’s mighty acts on their behalf. They would not trust God and commit their future to Him. This brought God’s anger and judgment upon them.
  2. As New Testament believers, we must never forget to show our gratefulness for Christ’s sacrificial death for us. Jesus provided our deliverance from sin and God’s gracious provision for guidance and blessing in life.

YOUR BODY IS A TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT / 1 CORINTHIANS 6:19

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 Corinthians 6:19

What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

YOUR BODY IS A TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT / 1 CORINTHIANS 6:19

YOUR BODY IS A TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

As a Christian, your body is the personal dwelling place of the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:11). Because the Spirit lives in you and you belong to God, your body must never be defiled by any impurity or evil, whether by immoral thoughts, desires, actions or images. This principle also includes things that are not sexual in nature, such as caring properly and responsibly for our physical bodies in every respect. We must live and care for ourselves in such a way as to honor and please God with our bodies (1 Corinthians 6:20). After all, we do not belong to ourselves; Christ paid a ransom for us with his own life (Matthew 20:28; Mark 10:45; 1 Timothy 2:6; Hebrews 9:15) to free us from sin and bring us into a personal relationship with God.

FLEE FROM SEXUAL IMMORALITY / 1 CORINTHIANS 6:18

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 Corinthians 6:18

Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

FLEE FROM SEXUAL IMMORALITY / 1 CORINTHIANS 6:18

Sexual sins involving believers are particularly offensive to God and destructive to individuals and the church, not only because multiple lives are affected, but also because such sins defile the body – the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:15-20). That is why Paul gives such a strong warning to stay away from activities and situations that could even entice a person to think or behave in a sexually immoral way (2 Timothy 2:22). The use of the present tense here indicates that the Christian bust deliberately and repeatedly to avoid situations that might tempt him or her to defy God in this way (Genesis 39:12).

MEMBERS OF CHRIST / 1 CORINTHIANS 6:15

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 Corinthians 6:15

Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.

MEMBERS OF CHRIST / 1 CORINTHIANS 6:15

The believer’s entire being – body and spirit – is part of his or her relationship to Christ and to the church body. This fact speaks of the dignity Christ desires for our physical bodies. Sexually immoral conduct, however, robs the body of its dignity and dishonors Christ in the process. In his warning against moral carelessness, Paul describes the terrible consequences of sexual misconduct for the believer. When one joins his or her body to an immoral person, it causes the two to become one (1 Corinthians 6:16; Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:5), which violates lives that Christ died to purify (1 Corinthians 6:15) and separates people from God’s kingdom purposes (1 Corinthians 6:9-10). Not only is sexual activity outside of marriage an extreme act of rebellion and dishonor against God’s plans for the marriage union, but it also robs people of union with Christ by making their bodies part of an unholy union. (In Corinth, the union would involve the prostitutes who were often dedicated to the service of Aphrodite, the goddess of love and sex).

NOT MEANT FOR SEXUAL IMMORALITY / 1 CORINTHIANS 6:13

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 Corinthians 6:13

 Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.

NOT MEANT FOR SEXUAL IMMORALITY / 1 CORINTHIANS 6:13

In 1 Corinthians 6:12-13 Paul is again quoting some of the Corinthians who felt that they had a right to do as they pleased – especially in relation to their physical bodies. They claimed that physical acts like eating have nothing to do with one’s spiritual life, and they applied the same faulty reasoning to sexual promiscuity (sexual activity outside of marriage). But Paul declares that the whole person, including the body, is meant to honor God. This is particularly true in relation to sex, which God gave as a beautiful and loving gift when exercised according to His plan (Hebrews 13:4).

EVERTHING IS PERMISSIBLE FOR ME / 1 CORINTHIANS 6:12

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 Corinthians 6:12

All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.

EVERTHING IS PERMISSIBLE FOR ME / 1 CORINTHIANS 6:12

This statement is clearly a quotation of an argument used by Paul’s opponents concerning their Christian freedom. They thought they had the right to do whatever they wished. Paul clearly taught, however, that there are things that are not permissible for believers (1 Corinthians 6:9-10, 18).

JUSTIFIED … BY THE SPIRIT / 1 CORINTHIANS 6:11

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 Corinthians 6:11

And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

JUSTIFIED … BY THE SPIRIT / 1 CORINTHIANS 6:11

Justification (being made right with God, declared “not guilty” in relation to God) involves not only the redeeming (spiritually saving and restoring) work of the Lord Jesus, but also the work of the Spirit of God in the believer’s life.

THE WICKED WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM / 1 CORINTHIANS 6:9-10

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 Corinthians 6:9-10

Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

THE WICKED WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM / 1 CORINTHIANS 6:9-10

THE WICKED WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM

Some in Corinth were deceived into believing that even if they were unfaithful to Christ, abandoning their relationship with Him and defying Him through immoral or unjust behavior, their salvation and inheritance in God’s kingdom were still secure. 

  1. However, Paul affirms that spiritual death is the sure and final result of habitual sin, even for those who were believers at one time (Romans 8:13). No one can live for selfish or immoral pleasure and still have a part in God’s eternal kingdom (Romans 6:16; James 1:15; 1 John 2:4; 1 John 3:9). Paul repeats this foundational teaching often (Galatians 5:21 and Ephesians 5:5; Ephesians 5:6). Notice that this principle was frequently communicated by the Old Testament prophets (Jeremiah 8:7; 23:17; Ezekiel 3:10).
  2. Paul’s warning is directed to the whole Christian community. We must not be deceived: those who are “wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God.” Any “salvation” that does not include the life-transforming, spiritually purifying and character-building work of the Holy Spirit is not genuine and has no place in New Testament teaching.
