Free To Edify

 

Today's verse is 1 Corinthians 10:23

All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not. 

    Did I not read this a few days ago? What was written before? “All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.” What is different? Is it not, “I will not be brought under the power of any” and “all things edify not?” We have indeed been given liberty, and been made free when we Trusted Jesus Christ our Savior, but liberty from what? Did not Paul tell us in another place, “Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.” Which Master do you truly wish to have? Let us, therefore, use our freedom to edify not ourselves only, but our brothers and sisters in Christ, and not only them, but our neighbor as well. Amen.

To God be the Glory
