Subject: WHAT IS MEANT IN VERSES IN 2COR.4:7-9? |
Bible Note: Paul stresses the earthly body of a Christian is inconsequential to the spiritual. He also highlights that a Christian's effectiveness as a teacher will not be attributed to their physical situation, but to the singular greatness of God's master plan. In no way could anyone say that Paul, or any of the evangelists, were persausive due to a lack of worldly concerns. Rather, they were persausive, because of their preaching of God's word, in spite of these concerns. Thus the power of God's word stood on its own merit. In fact, Christians are likely to suffer more difficulties than non-christians as God prepares them to be experienced teachers. AO |
