True Repentance | 2 Corinthians 7:2-16

July 10, 2022

Pastor Joshua Lim

Paul is wrapping up this section of his letter in which he's been making his appeal to his friends in Corinth to be reconciled to him. And Paul has much reason to be comforted and joyful. He has received news from Titus that the Corinthians have responded well to his "sorrowful letter", which called on the Corinthians to repent. In this passage we see what true repentance looks like. True repentance is encouraged through loving relationships, it is spurred on by godly grief, it results in real life change, and it multiplies shared joy.
