THE RESPONSIBLE USE OF CHRISTIAN LIBERTY

Can Christians eat food sacrificed to idols? The question is a question of the freedoms or rights we have because of salvation in Christ. We have liberty in Christ, but we must use our liberty responsibly.

1 Corinthians 8:1-13

For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation (Romans 5:6–11 NKJV).
