WORD OF THE DAY:

-  Boast

Paul begins by urging believers not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers. While this is often applied to marriage, Paul extends the principle to any relationship or environment where we allow the world to shape our thinking.

2 Corinthians 6:17 reminds us:“Therefore, come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you.”

Paul celebrates the Corinthians’ transformation, their godly sorrow leading to repentance. This repentance, far from being harsh, is a vital aspect of the Gospel. Paul rejoices in the report from Titus, who brought news of their renewed hearts and actions.

Paul commends the Macedonian churches for their generosity despite their poverty, urging the Corinthians to excel in giving as well. Generosity is an act of grace that reflects God’s own generosity toward us.

2 Corinthians 9:7 reminds us:“Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”

Giving not only meets others’ needs but also leads to thanksgiving and glory to God. It is an opportunity to reflect His abundance and faithfulness.

Paul confronts critics who challenged his authority, explaining that his confidence and strength come from God. He emphasizes that the weapons of spiritual warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to demolish strongholds.

2 Corinthians 10:17–18 reminds us where true boasting belongs:“But, ‘Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.’ For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.”

Paul encourages believers to focus on the tasks God has assigned them, not on human recognition or comparison.

In today’s culture, boasting often revolves around personal success and worldly accomplishments. Paul flips this perspective, reminding us to boast only in the Lord.
