Bible Focus

• 1 Corinthians 10:5–22

Summary

• God alone deserves your worship and your complete loyalty.
• Paul taught that believers could not take part in pagan worship because no one can belong to Christ while sharing in false worship.
• When you choose to follow Jesus, your worship, loyalty, and life must belong to Him alone.
• Although many people today do not bow to idols, anything that takes God’s place in your heart becomes an idol.
• Money, success, pleasure, relationships, possessions, or anything you love more than God can slowly draw your heart away from Him.
• God calls you to love Him above everything else and to remove anything that weakens your relationship with Him.
• Choose every day to remain faithful to Christ because He alone is worthy of your worship.
