Sanctified people: Spiritual Judges Exercising Brotherly Resolutions
DISCIPLES ARE EXPECTED TO GROW IN WISDOM TO BE ABLE TO JUDGE RIGHTEOUSLY. • Diligently add knowledge (2 Peter 1:5). • Become skilled in the word (Hebrews 5:14). • Judge with righteous judgment (John 7:24). • Personal application first (Matthew 7:1-5). • Restore brethren in sin (Gal. 6:1).
Internal affairs of the con-gregation are to be handled by the saints. • 1 Corinthians 5:9 – 6:11 • Church in Corinth neglected to discipline a brother practicing sin (chapter 5). • Judge within the body of Christ.
Internal affairs of the con-gregation are to be handled by the saints. • Saints ought to be able to judge in regard to personal matters among brethren (1 Cor. 6:1-6). • Do not go to civil courts to resolve brotherly problems. • Saints ought to be qualified to handle brotherly resolutions (Matthew 18:15-17).
Saints should eradicate the attitude that seeks to injure a brother. • Christians were being un-Christ-like by taking brethren in Christ to court of law (6:7-11). • Their lawsuits were reflections of ungodliness (Rom. 13:10; Gal. 6:10). • They were wronging and robbing brothers in matters of daily life. • This sinful attitude and treatment are unrighteous.
