Q4. (1 Corinthians 1:10-12)What kind of divisions do you see in your congregation or in the Christian community in your area? It is troubling to see the Church has not progressed much… we too suffer from a lack of unity through pride, jealousy, ego, a lack of willingness to submit to the Churches authority and inability to humble oneself
What is the cause of the divisions in Corinth?
A lack of unity. Pride. Jealousy. Envy.
What is the case of divisions today?
Divisions in any group/organization are still created by the lack of unity, which is generally be fueled by pride – jealousy – envy.
How do we obey the command to “agree with one another” (1:10)?
By learning to humble oneself – learn to see another as you see yourself. . . their wants, their needs, their ideas, their thoughts mean as much to them as yours do to you. No one part is better/more than another. It is the many parts that make up the whole. We need to learn that it is okay to disagree. "Unity in necessary things; liberty in doubtful things; charity in all things."
