Living a Life Worth Living – Writings by Robin McKinley
Paul wrote the book of 1 Corinthians to the Christians who lived in the city of Corinth. He had set up the church in Corinth when he himself lived there for 18 months (Acts 18). After he left the city, evil things happened in the church. So Paul wrote this letter to the Christians in Corinth, to help them.
Paul wanted to teach the Christians in Corinth how to praise God together. He taught them that they should share bread and wine to remember Jesus’ death (First Corinthians 11). God’s Holy Spirit would help them to work together (First Corinthians chapters 12 and 14). And God’s greatest gift is love (First Corinthians 13).
Paul also taught about life after death. After Jesus died, God caused Jesus to live again. Many people saw that Jesus was alive again (First Corinthians 15:1-8). In the same way, God will cause us to live again after our deaths. God is even greater than death (1 Corinthians 15).

Some of the people in the Corinthian church said there is no resurrection of the dead. The Apostle Paul took issue with the error of their thinking. He told them our hope in Jesus goes much further than this life. And if our hope in Christ is only for this life, we are more to … Read more
What does the Bible say about judging others? Matthew recorded Jesus as saying “Do not judge, or you too will be judged.” The Apostle Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians who Christians can and cannot judge. Let’s take a look at what he said. “It isn’t my responsibility to judge outsiders, but it certainly is your … Read more
1 Corinthians 13, known as the love chapter describes the characteristics of real love. It plainly tells us what it is and what it does and doesn’t do. It also tells us what it is not. Love . . . It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. 1 Corinthians 13:5 … Read more
With a sound of the trumpet, Jesus could return on any given day. A question we must ask ourselves is this, is the church ready for Christ’s return? If asking a Christian their opinion of the church, what do you think they would base their answer on? I think many people would give their opinion … Read more
