Practical Application
The New Testament describes two kinds of churches.
The first is a church that can be called a “Corinthian church" (1 Cor. 3:1-4).
The second is a mature church
How can your church-and mine-become a mature body of believers, reflecting "the fruit of the Spirit"?
· The answer is clear in scripture. All believers must "live by the spirit" and "keep in step with the spirit" (Gal.5:25).
· To do this, we must practice the "one another" exhortations that buildup the body of Christ (Eph. 4:16) rather than destroying and dismantling it (Gal 5:15)
How about you? Are you a Corinthian or Mature believer?
James 1:22 But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves.
Deuteronomy 26:16 “This day the Lord your God commands you to do these statutes and ordinances. You shall therefore be careful to do them with all your heart and with all your soul.
