Daily Devo | Freedom in the Lord (New Testament in a Year, 1 Corinthians 7:25-40)

In answering the many questions raised by the Corinthian church, Paul next turns to questions of marriage and singleness. He first begins by admitting that he has no clear instruction from God but he can offer some godly advice as people make their own decisions. What principles would Paul want us to consider as we choose whom we marry, or if we marry at all? In the end, Paul affirms that we have considerable freedom in the choices we make, but these choices also have considerable consequences and we bear incredible responsibility in the freedom that God has given to us.

For Reflection:

- How would you summarize Paul's advice on marriage and singleness?

- What decisions do you face in which Paul might encourage you to have an eternal, Jesus-centered perspective?

- Paul also asks people to consider their "present crisis". What crises do we face today that we should consider in our life decisions?

- Prayer: Lord, help me seek to please you rather than myself or others, and help me to have an eternal perspective in the decisions you give me to make.
