About this listen
In this podcast Pastor Rory is teaching from 1 Corinthians 5:1-13. This passage shows us how pride causes us to fall on either side of truth. In Proverbs 16:18 we learn that an attitude of pride comes before a fall, or personal destruction.
In the letter Paul wrote to the Corinthian Church he gives two examples of pride.
One person showed pride in his sin. He chose to live a sinful lifestyle outside of the bounds of what God declares in the scripture. The man was unrepentant and proud of his sin, and taking the stance that if Jesus loves him, he doesn't need to change.
By contrast, if we decide our standing based on how we compare to other people's mistakes and puff ourselves up, then we are also lost. Jesus made this clear in his dealings with pharisees.
The one who went home justified before God is the one who recognized his own sinfulness.
