P2_Ch15_Joyful devotion flowing from the grace of the gospel and thanksgiving returning to God (2 Corinthians 9:1-15)

Beloved saints, 2 Corinthians chapter 9 is the word spoken about the collection and sharing that take place within the church. However, this chapter is not simply a word encouraging offering. The Apostle Paul is explaining in this chapter the fruit of grace that appears in the life of a person who believes the gospel. That is, it is a word showing with what kind of heart a person who believes the gospel serves God and the saints. Paul first speaks of the zeal of the saints of the Corinthian church. He already boasted to the Macedonian churches that the Corinthian church was prepared for the work of serving the saints. Actually, the Corinthian church had been preparing the collection since a year ago. Their zeal gave a great influence to other churches as well. However, Paul is being careful about one thing. That is to ensure that this work is not done simply by human face-saving or outward zeal. So he sent the brothers first to make the collection be prepared in advance. Paul wanted this collection to become a devotion coming from a true heart, rather than being done by force. https://www.bjnewlife.org/https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMissionhttps://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35
