Do All to the Glory of God - I Corinthians 10:31
"So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God." The theology Paul has developed in I Corinthians 8-10 in regard to the eating of food offered to idols can be summed up in this principle: You should not act or behave in a way that could be detrimental to the cause of Christ. When you belong to Christ, then every aspect of your life is a living testimony to His redemptive love. Thus, you should keep your behavior and actions in check and be aware of how others may perceive your behavior. Avoid the appearance of evil for Christ's sake. Always remember that when you belong to Christ every aspect of your life has the potential to honor God.
