Salvation Requires Repentance

2nd Corinthians 7:1-16

October 12, 2024 • Arthur Bailey • 2 Corinthians 7

Give

The actions, attitudes, behaviors, and lifestyles reported to Paul of some worshippers in the Corinthian Assembly indicated that there were those who had possibly received the grace of God in vain. Paul makes it clear that a proper response to YeHoVaH’s grace would be evidenced by a change in the Believers’ conduct, relationships, and religious practices. The change of behavior would be a demonstration of actions of repentance that lead to salvation and explain why his letter came to them in the form that it did and caused the Corinthians to be sorrowful.

Vain Grace and Idolatry

October 5, 2024 • Arthur Bailey • 2 Corinthians 6

This portion of Paul’s letter to the Corinthians unveils a shocking revelation concerning the grace of God. The price Paul paid to get the Gospel to the Corinthians is expressed in a way that makes known to those reading his letter that grace required a proper response which some had not recognized and by their actions demonstrated that they did not understand YeHoVaH’s grace. Furthermore, the idolatrous practices of some had continued from their previous ways of life causing a stern warning to others to separate themselves from those whose lifestyle did not match the grace they had received.

Kingdom Ambassadors

September 28, 2024 • Arthur Bailey • 2 Corinthians 5

Chapter 5 of 2nd Corinthians contains a treasure trove of information that concludes with Paul identifying himself and those called by YeHoVaH in Messiah as His Ambassadors. He lays out what could be described as requirements, qualifications, and a job description for Kingdom Ambassadors. Paul's choice of words and the structural context he uses to present this portion of his letter to the Corinthians is a testimony to his personal service and commitment to the Gospel of the Kingdom, thereby indicating what would be required of those who are reconciled and called to represent the Kingdom of God.

Understanding The New Covenant

August 31, 2024 • Arthur Bailey • 2 Corinthians 3

Bible scholars, translators, and traditional theological teachers of the New Testament writings have confused the New Testament with the New Covenant and have woven a western Gentile Greek spin on the Epistles of Paul, a former Pharisee and professed Hebrew of the Hebrews. In this portion of Paul's Epistle to the Corinthians, he addressed the glorious calling of being an able minister of the glorious Gospel of the New Covenant and explains why the ancient Israelites rejected the glorious Gospel of the Old Covenant which many confuse with the Old Testament.
