2 Corinthians 6:10; As Sorrowful, Yet Alway Rejoicing
2 Corinthians 6:10 As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
Sorrow is a part of the Christian demeanour living as one with a poverty of spirit, how we are spiritually bankrupt and how we ought to mourn for our sins. The Apostle Paul was acutely aware of his own sinfulness. He sought to daily follow his Master, Christ, crucifying self and resisting the world’s system, the tempter’s lure. Through self-examination and confession and repentance before God, he sought a clear conscience daily. He experienced the comfort of sins forgiven, peace and joy through the Holy Ghost.
