Rightly Dividing The Word

[Keeping Alert]

I just saw this

Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God - 1Corinthians 10:32

When God looks at us, He sees only 3 groups of people - the Jews, the non-Jews (Gentiles) and the church.

If God sees 3 groups of people, I suspect that he has 3 quite different endings for each one of them. I think it would be useful if we review our end-time view of each of these three and see if we have inadvertently merged any of these groups together thus not rightly dividing the Word of God.

A new creation in Christ!

This "rightly divide" is literally "to make a straight cut". As a tentmaker, Paul would have understood the importance of that. You have to cut the right pieces in order to assemble the whole.
