Read 1 Corinthians 1:1–17
I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all
of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among
you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought.
1 Corinthians 1:10

A Christian photographer friend told me about a lovely wedding that he
covered. The bride and groom came out of the church, heading for the
limousine, when the bride suddenly left her husband and ran to a car parked across the street! The motor was running, and a man was at the wheel; off they drove, leaving the bridegroom speechless. The driver of the “getaway car” turned out to be an old boyfriend of the bride, a man who had boasted that “he could get her any time he wanted her.” Needless to say, the husband had the marriage annulled.

When a man and a woman pledge their love to one another, they are set
apart for each other. Just so, Christians belong completely to Jesus Christ; they are set apart for Him and Him alone. But they are also part of a worldwide fellowship, the church, “all those everywhere who call on the
name of our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Cor. 1:2). Defiled and unfaithful
believers sin not only against the Lord but also their fellow Christians.

Something to Ponder
What activities do you need to give up in order to follow Jesus more
completely?
