Intro

1 Cor 10.
Title - How To Keep Oneself From Falling
Background
Paul continues on the subject of disciplines but turns the focus to the church as a whole.
Paul highlights the danger of “falling”
falling down -
falling away
falling out
My Main Point
When Christians fall, it is always dues to their own wrong decisions and actions.
There is a guaranteed way to destruction, and there is a guaranteed way to victory.
Sermon Points
Many Christians “fall”
The warnings say it all
1 Corinthians 10.
Hebrews 6.
Hebrwes 4.11
The fall comes in different forms
Basic meaning - to be separated from God due to sin committed
to die as a consequence of one’s sin
to be separated from fellowship
fall out -
to renounce the faith h=once held
to be removed from the covenant of grace
How do you keep yourself from falling?
Do not depend on your spiritual experiences
they all had the same experience of the supernatural
1 Corinthians 10.1-
under the cloud
passed through the (red) sea
ate the same spiritual food
drank the same spiritual drink
Spiritual and supernatural experiences do not guarantee salvation.
Do not lust after evil things
1 Cor 10.6
Israel “lusted” after evil things
Egypt’s food -
idolatry
sexual immorality
they tempted/tested God
they complained against God
To “lust after evil things”
it means one is not yet “dead to sin” ()
Lusting after evil things is a guaranteed way to destruction.
Do not ignore admonitions
1 Cor 10.
Admonition means “cautionary advice against something”
they are warnings from God against committing sin.
Admonitions are especially written for “end-time believers” of God
Admonitions
for us upon whom the ends of the age have come
Trust in the faithfulness of God
God’s faithfulness dictates that
He will not allow us to be tempted beyond our capacity
He will provide a way of escape when temptations come
To trust in God’s faithfulness means
to be comforted by His promises
to be confident in one’s faith
to prepare oneself for the fulfilment of God’s promise
to rejoice in His work
Conclusion
When a Christian falls, it is alway due to his or her wrong decisions and actions.
When a Christian overcomes, it is always because God was able to do His work in his or her life.
