How would you react if someone you loved hurt you with malicious gossip? What would you do if someone turned the loyalty and affections of your children away from you? This was Paul’s dilemma. False teachers had infiltrated the church in Corinth and had questioned Paul’s personal integrity and apostolic authority. Although he was crushed and heartbroken, Paul defended himself in this letter. He explains his hardships, his travel plans, and the difference between the ministry of false teachers and his own ministry. In this letter, Paul sets aside his personal achievements and ambitions to redeem his reputation and edify the church in Corinth.
“To Paul, the difficulties in his life were essential for learning valuable lessons from God, which he could use in his own ministry and share with others.” (Page 8)
“The law tells men what they should do, but the gospel tells men what Christ has done” (Page 51)
“law demands righteousness, but the gospel gives righteousness” (Page 51)
