When Paul wrote to the believers in the city of Corinth, he did not tickle the ears of the masses. Instead, he recognized the power of the Gospel to combat spiritual and moral blindness. Alistair Begg challenges us similarly to understand our audience, remember our position as God’s mouthpieces, and proclaim Christ and Him crucified. As believers, we must take our message to the nations with confidence, recognizing that God’s Word always accomplishes its purpose.
1Therefore, having this ministry by the mercy of God,1 we do not lose heart. 2But we have renounced disgraceful, underhanded ways. We refuse to practice2 cunning or to tamper with God's word, but by the open statement of the truth we would commend ourselves to everyone's conscience in the sight of God. 3And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. 4In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. 5For what we proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as your servants3 for Jesus' sake. 6For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
