In this episode of "The New Testament in a Year," we explore 1 Corinthians Chapter 3, where Paul addresses the immaturity and divisions within the Corinthian church. He emphasizes the crucial role of unity and growth in Christ, explaining that while leaders plant and water, it is God who gives the increase. This chapter serves as a reminder to build wisely on the foundation of Jesus Christ.
As we read, we will look for Paul's rebuke of spiritual immaturity, his explanation of God's role in growth, and his instructions on building on the foundation of faith. Through these points, we gain insight into God's character as a provider of growth, a stable foundation, and a just judge. Our takeaways from this chapter encourage us to seek spiritual maturity, foster unity, and build wisely in our walk with Christ.
