Paul’s Explanation of His Conduct, 2 Corinthians 1-7
The salutation—1:1-2
• The author: 1) His commission: a) He represents Jesus Christ; b) His credentials—by the will of God; 2) His companion (Timothy)
• The recipients:
1) The church of God (universal sense)—in what sense?
a) God called it; b) God maintains it; 3) God completes it; 4) It is His from beginning to end.
2) At Corinth (the local branch)
3) Saints in all Achaia: a) To Corinth directly; b) All of southern Greece indirectly
• The greeting, v. 2: 1) Grace—unmerited, undeserved, unsolicited favor of God. 2) Grace is the foundational principle of the church age; 3) Paul begins all his teaching with grace; he wraps up all his teaching with grace; 4) Peace—wraps up all the benefits of redemption
The biblical doctrine of divine comfort, 1:3-11
• Emphasis on divine comfort from God, 1:3-7
• Emphasis on the deadly peril that comes from men, 1:8-11
Divine comfort, 1:3-7
• The source, v. 3: 1) God; 2) He is our Father; 3) Under Father, there are two attributes that stand out: a) Mercies; b) All comfort: Total sufficiency
“Comfort”
• Does not convey the idea of “cozy”
• Three elements involved—(paraklesis): 1) Stand by another; 2) To encourage; 3) . .
.anyone undergoing severe testing
• The idea of God being comfort is . . .
: 1) Presence; 2) Support; 3) Pain
• Real genuine support—God is comfort to us
• Trinity is involved: 1) The Holy Spirit—John 14:16, 14:26; 15:26; 16:7; 2) Jesus Christ—I John 2:1; Hebrews 2:18; 3) Father, I Corinthians 1:3
Principle: God never encourages us as believers for our own sake (1:4).
