“A Life Changing Life”
2 Corinthians 6:1-13
A life that can change lives is a life that has been reconciled to God in Christ, and who has reconciled relationships with others. The topic of reconciliation is important to Paul because his relationship with the Corinthian Christians has been frayed. There have many critics who say that Paul really was not an apostle—at least not like Peter or James. Paul has also had to speak harshly to the Corinthians because several of their community actions do not reflect the gospel message. Broken relationships do not reflect what God wants for his people. Relationships are important and our relationships with each other reflect our relationship with God. INTEGRITY. Paul does not just say that relationships are valuable to him he backs up his words with actions. Integrity builds trust, and trust builds relationships. Paul is a “what you see is what you get” kind of guy. In his dealings with the Corinthians, he has gone far beyond meeting them halfway. VULNERABLITY. Paul allows himself to be very vulnerable to the Corinthians. In verse 11 he writes, “Our heart is wide open to you.” Paul is willing to be rejected in order that there might be the possibility of reconciliation. Paul’s action mirrors the actions of God. God risked rejection by taking on human form and becoming one of us. But God was willing to take the risk in order that the possibility of reconciliation might be present. As forgiven people, we must allow ourselves to be vulnerable enough to ask for forgiveness and to give forgiveness.
Questions: 1. Why is reconciliation important to Paul? To the
believer? 2. What does integrity have to do with it? 3. Why is Paul willing to be vulnerable?
