Summary

Does Paul’s statement that “all things are lawful” in 1 Corinthians 6:12 mean we have the freedom to do whatever we want? While it might sound that way at first, as we unpack Paul’s argument, we discover what boundaries guard this statement, how this topic develops throughout Scripture, and how our liberty should be used to glorify God.

Have you ever talked to a person that said,

0:02.0

I'm not really interested in becoming a Christian.

0:04.3

I'm not interested in being born again

0:07.1

because I don't like the do's and the don'ts.

0:11.9

You know, if I become a Christian,

0:13.1

you're truly free. But I would argue,

1:05.4

that you're actually in bondage. You'll think, I'm free as it can be, but actually, you're

totally stuck. Do you remember when

1:11.8

Jesus came and talked to the Jews and the Jews are like, you know, our father, you know, Abraham,

1:17.0
