The Unrighteous Shall not Inherit

April 04, 2024

1 Corinthians 6:9-11 — Many today believe that society has progressed beyond our need for the Bible. Through education, culture, art, and sophistication, they believe that humanity has found hope beyond the brokenness. Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones points out that the Bible deals with real life. The sins of today are no different than the sins of ancient Corinth. Today, sin has been normalized. What the Bible calls wicked, the modern world justifies. Fornication is excused. Adultery is condoned, in some situations. Homosexuality has been declared “right.” Lying is tolerated. Everything is considered relative. Some believe moral teaching is our hope. Jesus did not merely come to give exhortations. Others believe training is our hope. No amount of education can correct the human heart. Our hope is not in our ability, cleverness, or wealth. Studying 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, Dr. Lloyd-Jones examines the problem of sin and its remedy. Humans are unrighteous by nature and what matters is righteousness. Do not be deceived. The need for humanity is to be washed, sanctified, and justified. This is the timeless message of Christianity. Jesus has come to save us from sin. He died for our transgressions and was raised for our justification. Do you know Him? Are you washed, cleansed, and renewed by Him?
