STEEMCHURCH: Approved by God

SOURCE

"For in the first place, when you come together as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you, and partly I believe it, because it is necessary that there be dissensions among you, so that those who are approved may be made manifest among you.
I Corinthians 11: 18-19

Does it sound familiar to you? Is it happening in your church? Do not be shocked! Do not let Satan take advantage of this situation. It is the spirit of Satan that creates divisions for just reasons or not.

He enjoys when these things happen, because he believes he has victory, by separating brothers, by putting conflicting thoughts, by provoking dissensions, by making them believe that things must be done in a certain way, of course "in my own way".

Know that the church is made up of men who one day received Christ in their hearts, but many times, we do not let the Lord control the areas of our life, we are imperfect, full of pride, selfishness and ambitions that do not please God.

This is the reality, the apostle Paul says: "partly I believe it". Normally when sin begins to take place in the church there are frictions, between those who want to live in any way, perhaps lightly, with one foot in the world and another in the Lord, and those who want to serve God.

One of the problems that arise, when you want to correct something that is wrong, is the fact that
want to recognize mistakes or what we have done wrong, inadvertently or in full awareness.

When this situation arises, it is very easy for there to be problems, where pride does not allow us to give in to our point of view or continue denying our sin. Here the Apostle Paul is saying something that seems, that should not happen.

However these things, these dissensions, it is necessary that they happen, so that they are manifested those that are approved.

This means that in all conflicts the true values ​​of the Christian life are manifested, in those who can be humble, in those who speak with love, in those who correct, thinking of helping and not in punishing, in those who accept the correction with humility of
heart.

In the midst of difficult situations many times characters or actions arise that do not please God, revenge is very common, which only distances us from the will of the father and that often limits other souls to come to Christ.
