2 Corinthians 7:4; Great Is My Boldness of Speech Toward You

2 Corinthians 7:4 Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying of you: I am filled with comfort, I am exceeding joyful in all our tribulation.

The Apostle Paul had the spiritual well being of the Corinthian church top most in his mind. He has rebuked them but he has also praise them for their faith in God. Although he endured much hardship in the course of the work of the gospel in Corinth, the Lord granted him joy to see the conversion and establishing of the faith of the believers in Corinth. Just as the angels who rejoiced in heaven at the conversion of a soul, the Apostle Paul praise God for grant fruit to come in the lives of the Corinthian Christians in His season.

MacDonald observed well, “Titus brought him a good report concerning the Corinthians, and this proved to be a source of tremendous cheer and encouragement to him.”

What a joy it is to be in the gospel work. A spiritual endeavour that last for all eternity. Amen.
