THEME: IDOL WORSHIP
1 Corinthians 10:7-9 NIV
“Do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written: “The people sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in revelry.” We should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did—and in one day twenty-three thousand of them died. We should not test Christ, as some of them did—and were killed by snakes.”
INSIGHT
-It is common for people who worship idols to eat, drink and offer libations to their gods. As such worship takes place, dancing, sexual immorality and other canal desires please their souls. Luke 17:27 reveals that, during the day of Noah, people were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day he entered the ark that the flood came and destroyed them all. Also, during the days of Sodom and Gomorrah, people indulged in sexual immorality and were oblivious of fact that there was looming judgement. Ezekiel 23:17-20 links the sexual immorality of Babylon to idolatry. 1 Corinthians 6:15-20, also reveals that sexual immorality is a form of idolatry since our bodies are members of Christ Himself. When we participate in sexual immorality, we unite the members of Christ with a prostitute, for two become one flesh. Since we are not our own as Christ purchased us at a price, we are called to flee from sexual immorality since our bodies are the temples of the Holy Spirit.
