Living Out the Gospel

1.      Living out the Gospel requires that we never compromise the      truths of God’s Word for the sake of unity. (12-18)

• Scripture: That the Bible is inspired, inerrant, authoritative, &      .
• God: That God is one and yet      in 3 persons.
• Jesus: That Jesus is fully      & also fully man.
• Resurrection: That Jesus died, was buried, rose again &      into heaven.
• Return: That Jesus will return bodily in power to      the living and the dead.

 
2.      Living out the Gospel requires that we strive to      others by not putting a stumbling block in front of them through the exercise of our liberties. (19-31).

• Out of love for the lost we must be sensitive to cultural norms so as not to      in hopes to win them to Christ. (1 Cor 9:19-22)
• Out of love for fellow believers we must never allow our morally permissible liberties to cause a brother to      into sin. (1 Cor 8:1-13)
• Out of love for God we must strive to please the Lord & not follow      cultural norms that clearly violate God’s Word.
