When Being Right Becomes Wrong! 1 Corinthians 8 | RIOT Podcast

1 hour 2 minutes

When Being Right Becomes Wrong! 1 Corinthians 8 is the topic that will be discussed today on RIOT Podcast, a Christian Discipleship Podcast.

Can being theologically right actually make us spiritually wrong?

In this episode, we continue our journey through 1 Corinthians as Paul shifts the focus from personal relationships to life within the Christian community. At the center of chapter 8 is a challenging question: What matters more, exercising our freedom or protecting the faith of others?

While the issue in Corinth involved food sacrificed to idols, Paul reveals a deeper principle that still confronts the church today: knowledge alone can inflate the ego, but love builds up the body of Christ. True maturity is not measured by how much we know, but by how faithfully we love.

You’ll discover why freedom without love can wound others, how conscience must be protected, and what it means to willingly lay down your rights for the spiritual growth of fellow believers. This conversation invites us to examine whether our lives are marked by proving we are right or by helping others grow in Christ.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why knowledge must always be governed by love

• The difference between knowing about God and being known by Him

• How past spiritual bondage can still shape a believer’s conscience

• When Christian freedom becomes a stumbling block

• Why wounding another believer is a serious spiritual matter

• What our willingness to sacrifice reveals about our maturity

• How discipleship is about building people up, not winning arguments

1 Corinthians 8 reminds us that the goal of the Christian life is not simply being right — it is becoming people who love well. When love leads, freedom serves, consciences are protected, and the church becomes a place of safety, healing, and growth.

👉 Listen now and ask yourself: Are my choices strengthening the faith of others?

Truth grows when it’s shared — send this to someone you love.

May God richly bless you.
