Do You Not Know?

Part 4

Text: 1 Cor. 6:9-20

Introduction/Review:

I.     The unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God. vv. 9-11

A.    What is the kingdom of God?

B.    How does the kingdom of God relate to the gospel?

C.    What does the kingdom of God have to do with our daily life of sexual purity?

D.    Who are the people excluded from the kingdom God?

Lesson:

E.    If the unrighteous cannot inherit the kingdom of God and all are unrighteous, who can inherit the kingdom of God and how?”

1.    “But you were washed” v. 11b

2.    “But you were sanctified” v. 11c

3.    “But you were justified” v. 11d

Reflection:

1.    Paul’s words are filled with hope for sinners.

2.    All who are transformed by the gospel are expected to live out the implications of the gospel.

3.    The gospel is not a license to indulge in the sins of unrighteousness.

4.    The gospel is the ministry of the Holy Spirit.
