Knowing God—A Study in 2nd Corinthians

Moving Beyond Knowledge into Experience—

Igniting the Tinder of Truth by the Fire of the Spirit

This conference was presented in Northern Virginia February 28–March 2, 2014.

 

“For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness,
who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge
of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.” 2Co 4:6

 

Second Corinthians is much more than just a defense and vindication of Paul’s ministry. It expounds the foundation of his life and service in the experiential knowledge of God in all His varied manifestations to Paul. In other words, Paul was who he was, and did what he did, because he continued to grow in his knowledge of God. This knowledge was not merely intellectual or academic. Rather it was essentially experiential, as Paul came to know the living Christ in his daily life.

The Transforming Power of Grace 1

The Transforming Power of Grace 1

Paul corrected Peter at Antioch and that effected him in his epistles (2Pe 1:1-4, 2Pe 3:14-18). We all have to be willing to grow. Paul grew 15-17 years before he exercised his Apostleship. Paul had left Titus on Crete heading to Rome having been summoned. Titus is probably the second to last book he wrote. Theme is "setting things in order". What is the purpose of God's training us? The outline (1) Spiritual Leadership, (2) Sound Teaching, (3) Sanctified Living. Spiritual leaders should teach and live in a way that they have an impact on others to live in a way that brings honor and glory of Jesus Christ. Spiritual leadership is grounded in the gospel (Gal 1:8-9). The gospel message is exemplified in the Apostle Paul; it is embodied in the gospel and entrusted to Titus. Paul calls himself a bond slave from birth. He is an Apostle and he proclaimed the message (Tit 1:1-3).
