PAUL ADDRESSES CHURCH PROBLEMS (1:1-6:20)
1 Corinthians 4:18-20 Some of you have become arrogant, as if I were not coming to you. But I will come to you very soon, if the Lord is willing, and then I will find out not only how these arrogant people are talking, but what power they have. For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power. What do you prefer? Shall I come to you with a whip, or in love and with a gentle spirit?
Some people talk a lot about faith, but that’s all it is talk. They may know all the right words to say but their lives don’t reflect God’s power. Paul says that the kingdom of God is to be lived, not just discussed. There is a big difference between knowing the right words and living them out.
Lets Bring it Home: Don’t be just content to have the right answers about Christ. Let your life show that God’s power is really working in you.
