AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 10:5 Nevertheless, God was not well-pleased with most of them, for they were scattered along the ground in the wilderness [because their lack of self-control led to disobedience which led to death]. [Num 14:29, 30] |
Subject: isn'tr it different for the saved? |
Bible Note: Hi Reformer Joe, Thank you for the references of Romans and Hebrews. They were an impetus for meditation tonight. They brought me all the way to comparing Romans 15:29 and Hebrews 6:7. Thank you for influencing that blessing. I would suggest that our participants compare exactly Romans 8:4-8 and Hebrews 11:5,6 with the idea that we please God by seeking Him. As far as 1 Corinthians 10:5 is concerned I believe that we please God when we go to Him and know Him as our Rock. I go with the NKJ here. But even though we are Christians we are weak in Him. 2 Cor 13:4, "For indeed He was crucified because of weakness, yet He lives because of the power of God. For we also are weak in Him, yet we shall live with Him because of the power of God directed toward you." I think that the warning of 1 Corinthians 10:1-5 is that even though we are all under the cloud, baptized, eat the same spiritual food, and drink the same spiritual drink; even though we enjoy a great tradition and heritage, if we don't know the Rock then we are not saved.
