1 Corinthians 3:9 says this: We are God's; you are God's; you are God's. Do you believe me? You can read this two different ways. Is this Scripture saying that we belong to God, or that we are a god? Well, the second part of the above sentence is just plain stupid because we aren't gods. There is only One God. (Thank God!!!) But... the first part of the above sentences is only slightly correct in the light of what 1 Corinthians 3:9 really says. Yes, we who have believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God and have placed our faith in His saving power do belong to God. Here, let me just copy and paste 1 Corinthians 3:9 so you can see what really is being said: For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s building.
That is the true context. It is pretty important to have all the information before one draws a conclusion because the conclusion could be stupid, wrong, and well, harmful. God wants us to read and study His Bible. God wants us to know what His Bible says in situations that we come across. God wants us to hear and read and know the Truth of His Bible and keep it in the context of His original idea.
2 Timothy 2:15- Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Be diligent to know your Bible and the context. Have a great week.
