Warnings from apostle Paul

1) we have to avoid false teachings (v. 3,9)

Even today there is a lot of falls information on the internet and everywhere.

Example Fox News in USA

They spew a lot of untruths.

To avoid this, we have to study the Bible.

The Bible has all the information we need.

 

2) have confidence in life, pursue righteousness, Godliness, faith, love, endurance, and gentleness (v.11)

Example. Putting money as the center of everything will put us in a bad situation.

Be happy with what you have, watch your life and follow Jesus closely.

 

3) fight evil using your faith. (V12)

And serve the Lord 1 Corinthians 12:3

Using the Holy Spirit to guide us.
