REASONS WHY WE SHOULD GLORIFY GOD
I Corinthians 6
INTRODUCTION:
We should glorify God in body and spirit because
Christ redeemed them at Calvary.
I. Because of His purchase--I Corinthians 6:20.
A. He p aid the price of His glory. His glory is so great that the
city of God has no need of the sun or the moon, but the Lamb is the
light. He laid aside that glory and died in shame.
B. He paid the price of His grace--Il Corinthians 5:2 1, I Peter
2:24.
C. He paid the price of grief.
1. Grief of the nails.
2. Grief of our needs.
Surely He was a man of sorrow acquainted with grief.
II. Because of our
purification--verse 11.
A. He washed us--verses 9 and 10.
B. He weaned us--verse 11--sanctified.
C. He welcomed us--verse 11--justified. All this
came about because of the name of Jesus and the Spirit of God.
III. Because of our
partnership--verse 15. We are
members of Christ.
A. Members of His body.
B. Members of His bride.
IV. Because of His
promise--verse 14. He promised to
raise up our body like He raised up the body of our Lord Jesus Christ.
A. By His power--verse 14.
B. With our same personality--Matthew 8:11.
CONCLUSION:
He purchased our body and spirit at
the cross, and
we ought to cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and
spirit.
