1 Corinthians 10 · Grade 4
Do All to the Glory of God
Read and Think
Paul points the Corinthians to Israel's story. All the Israelites were guided by the cloud, passed through the sea, and ate and drank what God supplied. Paul even says the rock that gave them water pictured Christ. Yet God was not pleased with many of them, because they turned to idols, tested the Lord, and grumbled.
These things were written as warnings. The Corinthians felt confident because of their knowledge and their baptism, but Paul warns that whoever thinks he stands should be careful not to fall. Still, there is hope. No temptation is unusual, and God is faithful. He provides a way of escape so believers can endure.
Paul tells them to flee idolatry. Believers share in Christ at the Lord's table, and they cannot also join in feasts for idols. In everyday choices, they should seek the good of their neighbor. Whether eating, drinking, or doing anything else, everything should be done to the glory of God.

Memory Verse
“No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.”
