1040 2 Cor.7.2-16 Paul’s Ministry - Encouragement from the Corinthians

Paul’s relationship with the Corinthian church highlights his deep concern and affection for them, despite challenges posed by worldly influences, moral compromise, and opposition from false apostles. After a painful visit and a distressing letter, Paul was overjoyed to learn from Titus that the church had responded with repentance. This heartfelt reconciliation affirmed their mutual affection and commitment to the true Gospel. Paul contrasts godly sorrow, which leads to salvation, with insincere, worldly sorrow.
