When a servant of God, Paul, started spreading his beliefs and the words and ways of God it seemed to come at a crucial time. People were unsure how to practice their faith. In one community he had started, he felt that the people were being influenced by others. Other beliefs he did not agree with were destroying what he had tried to build up. He came back to a faith divided among many different viewpoints. He tried refocusing their attention to what he wanted them to believe. Paul admonishes the followers in the Lord’s Supper for being divided. God wants all of his people to be together as one and not as separate. He gave them his opinions on all aspects of life including the law, children, marriage and social life. He was an incredibly passionate person who just wanted everyone to see the world the way he did. He seems to think marriage is not a great intuition rather it prevents one from fully believing in one’s own faith. He says that a husband would be more worried about pleasing his wife than the Lord Jesus. The Lord should be everyone’s main priority.
Paul wants all of his followers to know that everyone; man, woman and child are all equal. They all have a chance to experience God’s way and his love. He does not even talk about class order. Not only the white man or woman, who for this time was unheard of, was just much God’s child than Greeks or Jews. The only person God would not love, according to Paul, is one who is bad. A drunkard, a glutton, a thief or a liar are all people whom cannot be pure and true and all of God’s people are pure and true.
Many of his followers had lost their ways while being separated from Paul. He tried turning that around. Many people had separated from Christianity and wanted to divide themselves up. Paul’s main concern was for them to know what everyone should unite and be together for everyone is the same.
