1Corinthians 16

Scripture
1Corinthians 16
Verses 13-14
13 Be on guard. Stand true to what you believe. Be courageous. Be strong. 14 And everything you do must be done with love.


Observation
As Paul ends this letter to the Corinthians he gives a strong and brief statement on how they should behave until his next visit.


Application
These instructions are just as valid for us today as we await Christ's return!
1. Be on guard against temptations, be aware of your weaknesses
2. Be true to your faith
3. Be couragous and strong with the power of the Holy Spirit working in you
4. Do everything with love


Prayer
Lord, your Word gives us everything we need, all of our life's instructions. I pray that these instructions are written in our hearts to be recalled as we need them. So that when we are faced with tempation we can resist, so that we will not let anything compromise our faith, so that we have courage and confidence in the Holy Spirit to face trials, and so that everything we do is done with love. In Jesus Name, Amen!
