TODAY'S READING:

• 1 Corinthians 14, 1 Corinthians 15

WORD OF THE DAY:

-  Immovable

Today, Paul continues to instruct the Corinthians on spiritual gifts, especially emphasizing the power of prophecy. Prophecy, Paul explains, is not only about foretelling future events but about “strengthening, encouraging, and comforting” (1 Cor. 14:3). Paul wants the Corinthians to prioritize gifts that build up the church, like prophecy, over speaking in tongues, which can sometimes be unintelligible without interpretation. By focusing on prophecy, believers can uplift and edify one another, reflecting God’s love.

Paul also addresses the importance of orderly worship. Everything should be done “decently and in order” so the worship service is clear, reverent, and beneficial for all. He concludes by encouraging the congregation to worship in a way that considers the needs of others, building up the church family.Paul then transitions to one of the most crucial doctrines in Christianity: the resurrection of Jesus Christ. He affirms that Jesus’ resurrection is a historical fact, witnessed by many, and the foundation of our faith. Without belief in the resurrection, our faith loses its meaning and purpose. Paul insists that Jesus’ victory over death gives us both hope for the future and strength in the present.

He reminds the Corinthians that, just as Christ was raised, we too will be raised and transformed. This promise of resurrection equips us to live immovably, with the assurance that our lives have eternal significance. As Paul writes, “So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless” (1 Cor. 15:58).Today’s reading emphasizes the importance of standing firm in our faith. In 1 Corinthians 15:58, Paul calls us to be “strong and immovable,” grounding ourselves in the Gospel, the resurrection, and the hope of new life in Christ. This conviction isn’t just an idea—it’s a foundation that transforms how we live. We don’t waver because we know Christ’s victory over sin and death is complete.

The resurrection is the motivation for our unity, our pursuit of purity, and our hope for eternal life. With Christ as our cornerstone, we can live immovably, standing for truth and love. Let’s be immovable in building each other up, in offering encouragement, and in standing for the Gospel that transforms lives. This firm foundation gives us the strength to love, serve, and live with a hope that the world cannot shake.
