4. Does it belong in the home of the Holy Spirit? “What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s” (1 Cor 6:19–20). See also Ephesians 4:30. 5. Is it of faith? Do I have misgivings? “And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin” (Rom 14:23). “Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God” (1 John 3:21). 6. Does it positively benefit, build up (not simply, “Is it harmless?”)? “Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another” (Rom 14:19). “Let all things be done unto edifying” (1 Cor 14:26). See also Romans 15:2; 1 Corinthians 10:8; Ephesians 4:12–16. 7. Does it spring from, or lead to, love of this world and its value system? “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him” (1 John 2:15). See also Mark 9:47; 11:14–15. 8. Does it involve union with an unbeliever? “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?” (2 Cor 6:14). 76 A <strong>Consecrated</strong> <strong>Life</strong>
9. Does it come from or have the potential of leading to bondage? “All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not” (1 Cor 10:23). 10. Is the motive pride, or love? “Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth. And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know” (1 Cor 8:1–2). 11. Is a godly mind-set the context of my decision on the matter? “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things” (Phil 4:8). See also Romans 12:1–2. 12. What does the church say about it? “For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men” (Rom 14:18). “For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things” (Acts 15:28). See also Romans 14:16. 13. Would I like to be doing this when Jesus comes? “And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. . . . we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure” (1 John 2:28; 3:2–3). See also 1 Thessalonians 5:2–4; Matthew 24:44–51; Luke 23:34–35.
