Pitfalls to avoid

By Pastor Renjen P Cherian, May 12, 2024

1 Corinthians 3:18-4:21 Pitfalls to avoid

Do not deceive yourselves

  • We are tempted to embrace the craftiness of worldly wisdom, only to find our efforts ending up futile in the end.
  • There's a chance we might become enslaved by things provided for our benefit and could be deceived.

Do not appoint yourselves as judges.

  • We ought to attain a higher level of spiritual maturity before rendering judgment on spiritual matters.
  • As we attain spiritual maturity, our perspective on roles and responsibilities changes from how we once viewed them.**

Do not let yourselves be consumed by arrogance.

  • As time passes in our Christian journey, there's a risk of us becoming puffed up with spiritual arrogance.
  • When being puffed up, we tend to boast instead of being grateful for what we have received from the Lord.
