He takes Christ as his role model of righteous and moral life. In the paragraphs above we saw how Christ is the sources of morality and righteousness.

Let’s think about the condition of the churches during the time of Paul. Things were never right even in the early churches. From the beginning of time and early christianity we christians have no place to boast on excellence of our moral behavior because we never had it.

Paul identifies their immorality to be something that cannot be found even among the non-believers. This is the proof for how messed up we Christians and our Churches were throughout the beginning of our history. This is not what we are supposed to be like. But let’s face the truth we have been this way. But the struggle does not end here. This leads to a question; Yes we were immoral throughout the beginning of our history and are somehow still the same but what are we going to do about it? Well, I guess that there is a lot we can do. I discussed earlier how paull went through same situation as we are now. He too had to face immorality, injustice and sinful attitude in the Church. What did he do about it? Nothing more, But talked about it, taught about it and exemplified about it. Paul never failed to mention and teach about how to live a moral life. Everytime Paul used to sense immorality in any church he used to write to them about what they were lacking, Today many churches don’t mention about the immorality that their members have thinking that it would not be a good idea to get into their personal matters. They teach them indirectly but Paul in his times told
