Ten Important Truths …from Paul
Here are those 10 “Do you not know” quieries:
1 Corinthians 3:16 “the Spirit of God dwells [permanently] in you“
“Do you not know and understand that you [the church] are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells [permanently] in you [collectively and individually]?
1 Corinthians 5:6 “a little sin corrupts a person or an entire church“
“Your boasting [over the supposed spirituality of your church] is not good [indeed, it is vulgar and inappropriate]. [a]Do you not know that [just] a little leaven ferments the whole batch [of dough, just as a little sin corrupts a person or an entire church]?
1 Corinthians 6:2 “the saints (God’s people) will [one day] judge the world“
Do you not know that the saints (God’s people) will [one day] judge the world? If the world is to be judged by you, are you not competent [b]to try trivial (insignificant, petty) cases?
1 Corinthians 6:3 “we [believers] will judge angels”
Do you not know that we [believers] will judge angels? How much more then [as to] matters of this life?
1 Corinthians 6:9 “the unrighteous will not inherit or have any share in the kingdom of God”
Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit or have any share in the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; [a]neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate [by perversion], nor [b]those who participate in homosexuality,
1 Corinthians 6:15 “your bodies are members of Christ…”
Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Am I therefore to take the members of Christ and make them part of a [a]prostitute? Certainly not!
1 Corinthians 6:16 “the one who joins himself to a prostitute is one body with her“
Do you not know that the one who joins himself to a prostitute is one body with her? For He says, “The two shall be one flesh.”
1 Corinthians 6:19 “your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is within you…you are not your own”
Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is within you, whom you have [received as a gift] from God, and that you are not your own [property]?
1 Corinthians 9:13 “those who regularly attend the altar have their share from the [offerings” AMP
Do you not know that those who perform sacred services eat the food of the temple, and those who attend regularly to the altar have their share [a]from the altar? NASB
1 Corinthians 9:24 “in a race all the runners run [their very best to win], but only one receives the prize“
Do you not know that in a race all the runners run [their very best to win], but only one receives the prize? Run [your race] in such a way that you may seize the prize and make it yours!

What do you not know? …about why God rejects anyone? …about how a little sin corrupts a person? …about why God asks us to repent?
_______________
Add one more to the 10 quieries above in 1 Corinthians.
I add another here, perhaps the most dire, maybe an 11th hour notice?
16 Do you not know that when you continually offer yourselves to someone to do his will, you are the slaves of the one whom you obey, either [slaves] of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness (right standing with God)? – Romans 6:16
Being tested to know for sure your faithfulness to God
Jesus saves and Jesus condemns
We know what Jesus believes. Do you agree with Him?
Jesus shared His worldview throughout the entire Bible. Yes, in the Old Testament also, since God inspired it, and Jesus is God, after all. So we know what Jesus believes. Just read the Bible with open eyes.
The “worldview” of Jesus is discernible by examining the Bible. Jesus’ quoted words are in the New Testament, but God also inspired the Old Testament, and, since Jesus is God – Jesus’ worldview is found throughout the whole Bible.

Rely on the Spirit of God in you
Salvation and receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit
Excerpt: The unrepentant heart makes excuses for sin (vile things before God). What do I support – that is “not of God”? …in my personal practices, in my politics, in my relationships, in my mind and heart?
We rationalize so well, we fool ourselves!
Life, ultimately,
is not about what I think –
it is about God, and
what He has declared.

Today is your last day – and Hell is home tonight
Ready to lose it? Are you ready to lose your soul today – forever? Or are you ready to meet your Maker? Is your account with Him balanced?
A God Damn “Come now, and let us reason together” – Isaiah 1:18. Have you ever tried to grasp the deep intensity of God’s feelings against your sin? Do you know how much He hates sin? Sin is: anything done contrary to God’s will. And His will is made quite clear…
Excerpt: It doesn’t matter who you think you are, God is not impressed. He will judge all of us on an equal basis. And when God calls a sin, “sin”, it is.
“Accepting Christ as your Savior” and then, calling what He calls sin “okay” and permissible!? You, on what basis do you declare anything as “okay” when Holy God condemned it? God says that those who walk that way are still in their sins, under condemnation.
