2. HOLY SPIRIT IS A PERSON
1 Corinthians 6:9-20
9
Don’t you realize that those who do
wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of
God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who
indulge in sexual sin, or who worship
idols, or commit adultery, or are male
prostitutes, or practice homosexuality, 10
or are thieves, or greedy people, or
drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat
people—none of these will inherit the
Kingdom of God…
3. HOLY SPIRIT IS A PERSON
1 Corinthians 6:9-20
… 11
Some of you were once like that. But
you were cleansed; you were made holy;
you were made right with God by calling
on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and
by the Spirit of our God. 12
You say, “I am
allowed to do anything”—but not
everything is good for you. And even
though “I am allowed to do anything,” I
must not become a slave to anything…
4. HOLY SPIRIT IS A PERSON
1 Corinthians 6:9-20
…13
You say, “Food was made for the
stomach, and the stomach for food.”
(This is true, though someday God will do
away with both of them.) But you can’t
say that our bodies were made for sexual
immorality. They were made for the Lord,
and the Lord cares about our bodies. 14
And God will raise us from the dead by
his power, just as he raised our Lord from
the dead…
5. HOLY SPIRIT IS A PERSON
1 Corinthians 6:9-20
… 15
Don’t you realize that your bodies are
actually parts of Christ? Should a man
take his body, which is part of Christ, and
join it to a prostitute? Never! 16
And don’t
you realize that if a man joins himself to
a prostitute, he becomes one body with
her? For the Scriptures say, “The two are
united into one.” …
6. HOLY SPIRIT IS A PERSON
1 Corinthians 6:9-20
…17
But the person who is joined to the Lord
is one spirit with him. 18
Run from sexual
sin! No other sin so clearly affects the
body as this one does. For sexual
immorality is a sin against your own body.
19
Don’t you realize that your body is the
temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you
and was given to you by God? You do not
belong to yourself, 20
for God bought you
with a high price. So you must honor God
7. HOLY SPIRIT IS A PERSON
1 Corinthians 6:11(AMP)
‘And such some of you were [once]. But
you were washed clean (purified by a
complete atonement for sin and made
free from the guilt of sin), and you were
consecrated (set apart, hallowed), and
you were justified [pronounced righteous,
by trusting] in the name of the Lord Jesus
Christ and in the [Holy] Spirit of our God.’
8. HOLY SPIRIT IS A PERSON
Matthew 7:13-16 (NLT)
13
“You can enter God’s Kingdom only
through the narrow gate. The highway to
hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the
many who choose that way. 14
But the
gateway to life is very narrow and the
road is difficult, and only a few ever find
it…
9. HOLY SPIRIT IS A PERSON
Matthew 7:13-16 (NLT)
…15
“Beware of false prophets who come
disguised as harmless sheep but are
really vicious wolves. 16
You can identify
them by their fruit, that is, by the way
they act. Can you pick grapes from
thornbushes, or figs from thistles?
10. HOLY SPIRIT IS A PERSON
1 Corinthians 6:12 (AMP)
‘Everything is permissible (allowable and
lawful) for me; but not all things are
helpful (good for me to do, expedient and
profitable when considered with other
things). Everything is lawful for me, but I
will not become the slave of anything or
be brought under its power.’
11. HOLY SPIRIT IS A PERSON
And thus, though it is lawful, though it is all
right, I don't do it because it's not
expedient.
It doesn't expedite my journey towards my
goal of pleasing the Lord!
12. HOLY SPIRIT IS A PERSON
1 Corinthians 6:19-20
‘Do you not know that your body is the
temple (the very sanctuary) of the Holy
Spirit Who lives within you, Whom you
have received [as a Gift] from God? You
are not your own, You were bought with
a price [purchased with a preciousness
and paid for, made His own]. So then,
honor God and bring glory to Him in your
body.’
13. HOLY SPIRIT IS A PERSON
‘You were bought with a price [purchased
with a preciousness and paid for, made
His own]. So then, honor God and bring
glory to Him in your body.’
