Following Jesus is a practical thing – it is not simply lip-service or a Sunday morning journey. In this passage Paul says some things about the consequences of sin and the seriousness of not allowing the grace of God to effect change in our heart. While Paul clearly states that people who live in certain ways, citing sexual immorality, impurity and greed specifically, have no inheritance in the Kngdom of Christ and of God, the issue at stake is “Who is on the throne of your heart?” The whole question of following Jesus hinges on the command to be filled with the Holy Spirit, a topic to discuss next week.
