“Do Not Be Deceived”

Blessings folk!

All true Believers have been…
  • washed
  • sanctified
  • justified

1Co 6:11
Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.


False/fraudulent/fake believers have not.
They are still of the world.

What was the background of these “such were some of you…”.
To what does the “such” refer.

Back up a couple of verses…

1Co 6:9-11
Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals,
nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.
Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

The immediate context (1 Cor. 6) is that Believers were taking each other to pagan courts over issues. Paul said such should not be.

The Spirit clearly states that the unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
Clear.

The total teaching of the Word shows that those who “practice unrighteousness”...as a pattern of life...will not inherit the Kingdom of God.

The Lord gives a list of the unrighteous that will not inherit the Kingdom of God.

We will examine each.

For today, be not unrighteous.
Do not be deceived.
Seek the Kingdom.
Know that the Lord Jesus is the Hope for all those in sin.
