Our liberties have the potential of stumbling a weaker brother or sister. So at times we may need to put aside a particular liberty out of love and concern for others. Pastor Ed Taylor has a few examples of that from First Corinthians eight.

We have great liberty in Christ, but does that mean anything goes? Maybe you’ve heard some of your friends excuse their behavior, thinking that’s the case. Our salvation is a free gift from God and isn’t obtained by works or legalistic rules. However, as we’re about to see, we want to be careful to ask, how will my decisions in the grey areas affect those around me?

His life speaks of what will happen if we refuse to turn to the Lord, and what the wages of sin really is! Sadly his story didn’t end well. But that doesn’t have to be the case for you.
