‘Associations Inside And Outside Church.’
1 Corinthians 5:9-13.
a) 1 Corinthians 5:9. The Church should have no Fellowship with immoral people. (This Scripture is to be further explained here by Apostle Paul)
b) 1 Corinthians 5:10. Apostle Paul makes it very clear that he is not writing about non Believers. If we are living in the World system we will meet people of the World system all the time. They are our neighbours, our work mates and fellow students. People who live in sin and only Christ can change their lives.
c) 1 Corinthians 5:11. Apostle Paul is writing about so called “brothers” in the Corinthian Church. He writes that we should not associate with, or even eat with these people, whoever they are in the Church:-
1- Immoral.
2- Greedy.
3- Idolaters.
4- Revilers – mockers.
5- Drunkards.
6- Robbers.
d) 1 Corinthians 5:12. Our responsibility is to judge the people in the Church in a Biblical way.
e) 1 Corinthians 5:13. God Judges the people outside the Church.
f) 1 Corinthians 5:13. Our responsibility is to drive unrepentant evil people out of the Church.
(This QT clearly teaches me about Associations Inside And Outside The Church. God’s Word is very clear, so should I be)

The Lord is the One Who makes Covenant Promises with His People. The way in which Abraham could receive the Covenant was by Faith in what God had said to Him. Covenant is always something personal between a person and Jehovah God. It is made in this Dispensation through the Blood of Jesus Christ and received by Faith.
