Deceiving Yourself
1c or 18
With the spirit of conflict and disunity in the Church Paul is telling the leaders to recognize self-deception.
We must all light to the Bible!
These folks were pride and puffed up and had been deceived into worldly thinking
Deception - something that deceives or is intended to deceive; fraud; artifice.
Paul now returns to the subject of wisdom and warns the believers not to be deceived into thinking that the wisdom of this human age is sufficient for obtaining salvation and for building up the church of God.

18).

II Self Deception is Detected
1 cor 3.20-
It will all be revealed
High School - you are a great student and straight A
But you are basing that on a standard that is not realistic.
College the standard of what you know is revealed and it is a fraud.
Paul reveals the futility of self-deception (1 Cor.
3:19–20).
In the first place, God sees through the crafty man: “For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God.
For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness” (3:19).
The quotation is from the book of Job (Job 5:13)
God sees and know it all
1cor
God know you thoughts and actions and all will be revealed.
God know you thoughts and actions and all will be revealed.
You may not see it but he does.
Cameras over registers at Giant Eagle - they see and record everything
Sin will be judged and all will be required to give an account
sin will be judged and all will be required to give an account
This wisdom reflects the mind of Satan and is foolish in God’s sight.
Paul supported this fact by quoting from Job 5:13 and Psalm 94:11.
The members needed to see that the practice of boasting (1 Cor.
3:21) about ministers was similarly a self-centered spirit
This self deception will be detected and found out.
What is the best way to avid this?
Glorying in men steals from God’s Glory!
III Self- Deception is Defrauding

This self deception is defrauding God
This self deception is defrauding God

We are his not our own
