The Christian life is to illuminate the Gospel of Jesus Christ to a world shrouded in darkness. Like city on a hill, the church is called to shine the light of salvation that permeates, influences, and changes the world around it to accord to Biblical norms. We cannot be effective in this divine mission if we apply worldly standards to our ethic of living. This is what was happening to the body of believers at Corinth. They had sign out front that said, “Church”, but on the inside it was filled with people who had conformed to a worldly way of living. Division, and sexual immorality operating in their fellowship had made shipwreck of their witness to the community around them. Paul dismay deepens as he now confronts the practice of lawsuits among the members of their church.
