2 Corinthians 7

VII Paul's Joy that His previous Letter was received well
A. vs 1 Keep yourself pure and holy before God
B. vs 2-4 Paul's joy knows no bounds
C. vs 5-7 Titus comforted Paul
D. vs 8-12 Godly sorrow brings repentance
E. vs 13-16 Paul was grateful for the way they treated Titus


What I learned
God comforts (and afflicts)
God sets the seal of His ownership on us (The Holy Spirit)
Do not peddle the Word of God for a profit (God want us righteous not rich)
The glory of the Old Covenant is fading (But how great the glory of the New!)
The god of this age has blinded unbelievers (And God will open them through preaching)
The Spirit in us GUARANTEES what is to come (We need not worry)
We are a new creation (The old has passed away)
Godly sorrow brings repentance (don't be afraid to offend)
