How Far Does Christian Freedom Go?: First Corinthians Chapter Six Exegetical Commentary Series

A born-again believer in Jesus Christ is the freest man or woman alive. But there are voluntary limits on the new believer when we chose to become a slave to Christ (Rom. 6:6). This freedom, therefore, is summarized by what will please his Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. It’s not about what we have the right to do, but what will ultimately please God.First Corinthians chapter six deals with the lengths we must go to in the Christian walk in order to truly be pleasing to God. We must understand that the Christian has duties, rather than rights. Performance of these duties with the right motives will ultimately bring joy. Diligence in doing these duties affects not only our own lives, but also the lives of others.
