In writing 1 Corinthians, Paul faced the challenge of a church established in the truth but rife with disunity and sin, influenced by a decadent pagan culture in its city. As he encourages the faithful, confronts the wayward, and answers pressing questions, Paul gives us some of the most beloved passages in the New Testament alongside some of the most challenging. It is a letter that deserves our careful study.
In volume four of this series, Alistair Begg explains the perplexing question of food sacrificed to idols and how it addresses the question of our freedom in Christ. Christians ought to avoid the extremes of permissiveness that flouts God’s commands and legalism that adds to them. Yet where God has given us freedom, our first concern shouldn’t be to assert our own rights but to consider God’s glory and the good of our brothers and sisters.
