DON'T RECEIVE GOD'S GRACE IN VAIN

Passage: 2Corinthians 6:1~13  

Key verse: 1


1. Now is the time of God's favor (1-2)

God saved us from useless and meaningless lives so that we might work with him to serve our times. Paul shows us how to live lives that reveal God's grace and extends that grace and salvation to others.

2. Don't be a stumbling block (3-7)

Paul did not seek personal gain from the gospel ministry. He lived a humble, sacrificial life, and endured all manner of hardship. Even when he was suffering he did not close his heart to others; in love and purity, with God's power he taught God's word.

3. Expect to be misunderstood (8-13)

We live in a world that does not understand Jesus' love and/or the sacrificial life. Paul was misunderstood, but he loved anyway. He was sorrowful, yet he rejoiced; poor, yet he made others rich.


Prayer: Lord, forgive me for my selfish, pleasure-seeking life. Help me to be a sacrificial servant of God.

One Word: Now is the time of God's grace
