“Journey Through 1Cor-Part7” – “Love That Draws a Line”
1 Corinthians 5:1-2 It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that even pagans do not tolerate: A man is sleeping with his father's wife. And you are proud! Shouldn't you rather have gone into mourning and have put out of your fellowship the man who has been doing this?
Should be filled with grief over sin.1 Corinthians 5:3 For my part, even though I am not physically present, I am with you in spirit. As one who is present with you in this way, I have already passed judgment in the name of our Lord Jesus on the one who has been doing this.
This is an expression of love.Unchecked sin hardens our heart.It blinds our minds and dulls our consciousThe longer it goes the worse it getsA loving confrontation interrupts that hardening.Time is always on the side of the truth.
Jesus meets you where you are at.
