The second part of 1 Corinthians 6:12 declares "but not everything is good for me. All things are lawful for me, but I will not put myself under any bondage."
- This implies that while something may be legal or permissible in terms of Christian law, it may be morally or spiritually wrong. This point serves as a reminder that even though, as believers, we are free to act as we see fit, there are still standards established by God's word that should guide us towards right living.
In other words, just because something isn't explicitly forbidden doesn't mean it's right either. We need to use wisdom and discernment when making decisions about our conduct.
In conclusion, 1 Corinthians 6:12 serves as an important reminder of the freedom God has given us as believers and the importance of using discretion when making decisions about our conduct. It also emphasizes the importance of understanding what God has said about certain behaviors before we engage in them.
- Even if these behaviors are not explicitly forbidden by Scripture.
- In order to avoid any potential bondage caused by sinning against God's will. Ultimately, this passage reminds us of the grace and righteousness we find in Jesus.
-Christ, our Savior, and encourages us to be mindful of our actions at all times in order to lead a life that is pleasing to Him!
Amen!
