Why We Run

Why We Run

1 Corinthians 7:17

Only let each person lead the life that the Lord has assigned to

them, and to which God has called them. This is my rule in all

the churches.

Why We Run

1 Corinthians 9:24

Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one

receives the prize? So run that you might obtain it.

Why We Run

1 Corinthians 10:23-11:1

”All things are lawful,” but not all things are helpful. “All things

are lawful, but not all things build up. Let no one seek his own

good, but the good of his neighbor. Eat whatever is sold at the

meat market without raising any question on ground of

conscience. For “the earth is the Lord’s and the fullness

thereof.”

Why We Run


If one of the unbelievers invites you to dinner and you are

disposed to go, eat whatever is set before you without raising

any question on the grounds of conscience. But if someone

says to you, “This has been offered in sacrifice,” then do not

eat it, for the sake of the one who informed you, and for the

sake of conscience—I do not mean your conscience, but his.

Why We Run


For why should my liberty be determined by someone else’s

conscience? If I partake with thankfulness, why am I

denounced because of that which I gave thanks?

So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do

all to the glory of God.

Why We Run


Give no offense to Jews or to Greeks or to the church of

God, just as I try to please everyone in everything I do, not

seeking my own advantage, but that of many, that they may

be saved.

Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.

• You have the right and freedom to do what you want, but

conscience. It is your right and freedom.

freedom to build up the church and seek the good of others.

• It’s not about eating meat or not eating meat; it’s about

worship.

• Make God’s name greater: build up the church by seeking

the good of others.


1 Corinthians 10:32-33 (How we do it.)

Give no offense to Jews or Greeks or to the church of God, just

as I try to please everyone in everything I do, not seeking my

own advantage, but that of many, that they might be saved.

1 Corinthians 11:1 (Paul as an illustration.)


• Christ did it, so I’ll do, now you do it.

• Live your life for the glory of God: build up the church by

seeking of others and leading others to do the same.


The big idea:

What brings God the glory is the grid through which we

decide everything we do and don’t do.


Application:

Ask the questions:

• Is my life defined as glorifying God? (Evaluating where

you at…)

• Is my life defined as glorifying God? (Evaluating where

• What will God get out of this? (Going Forward…)


Warning:

Stay rooted in grace. We are not earning anything: God

first loved us.


When we run, the win is people, the reason is worship.

All Glory be to Christ!
