Man was to maintain his exalted po-
sition and not to allow habits in
Guiding drinking intoxicants that
will make him slave to drink.
VS.. 20, 80. "And God said, Be
hold, l have given you every herb
bearing seed, which is upon the
face of all the earth, and every tree,
in which is the fruit of tree yield
ing fruit; to you it shall be for
meat" So important was man that
all creation was to serve him. God
wanted man to continue to live and
therefore provided for his susten-
ance. Any habit that lessons mans
life in years and power is contrary
to Gods will. The Hebrew style of
writing was to repeat the same
thought in the following verse as is
done here.
V. 81. "And God saw every thing
that he had made, and, behold 1t
was very good. And the evening
and the morning was the first day"
What God has made is always good.
What man makes is not always
good. God never made intoxicating
drinks; they are made by man and
are not good.
V. 10. What? Know ye not
Holy Ghost which is in you, which
ye have of God, and ye are not your
own?" Paul had been warning the
Corinthian Christians against sin
of fornication. He closes his argu-
ment by stressing the need of pur-
ity One would not defile an earth
ly temple, how much less should we
defile our bodies. By inference it is
taught here no one will contract
habit which will be injurious to soul
or body.
V. 20. For we are bought with
a price: therefore glorify God in
your body, and in your spirit which
are God's'' The man who is sold
out to his baser nature, is slave to
it, is not his own. The price paid
for mans redemption was the death
of Christ-"He died for our sins"
thus fulfilling the law of sin which
was death. Since our salvation cost
SO much we should glorify him with
our whole being. Here again is the
glorify God.
v. Io. AAu WHdJ dSI ICCliChL
hath the temple of God with idols?
For ye are the temple of the living |
God; as God hath said l will dwell
in them, and walk in them; and /
will be their God, and they shall be
my people" The use of this rhetOr-
ical question is a strong way of say
ing there is no agreement. Here
is stated the supreme purpose OF
mans existence, that of close fell !
lowship and communion with God. I
The ideal of perfect society is that
God is the Father of a large family,
all being his devoted children, and I
as such all will be kind, thoughtful !
and helpful to each other which is
not possible when liquor has the
right of way.
v. 1. Having therefore these
dearly beloved, let us
cleanse ourselves from all filthiness
Of the flesh and spirit, perfecting
holiness in the fear of God" True
and holy communion
with God makes for perfect holi-
less which is heavenly here and
hereafter. This requires the cleans
ng by the Holy Spirit The means
If accomplishing this are: e. re-
sisting and avoiding sin in all it's
INVITING and conducting forms; CD
setting the fear of God before our
eyes, that we may dread his dis.
pleasure.
