1 Corinthians 8:4–6 | Day 3 — There Is Only One God

For two days now, we have been walking through 1 Corinthians 8 together. We have framed the question — meat offered to idols, and the conscience of the believer — and we have seen Paul’s first principle — love comes before knowledge. Today, Paul lays the doctrinal foundation. Listen to 1 Corinthians 8, verses 4 through 6, in the Contemporary English Version:

“Even though food is offered to idols, we know that none of the idols in this world are alive. After all, there is only one God. Many things in heaven and on earth are called gods and lords, but none of them really are gods or lords. We have only one God, and he is the Father. He created everything, and we live for him. Jesus Christ is our only Lord. Everything was made by him, and by him life was given to us.”
