This is our [reason for] proud confidence: our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world [in general], and especially toward you, with pure motives and godly sincerity, not in human wisdom, but in the grace of God [that is, His gracious lovingkindness that leads people to Christ and spiritual maturity]. For we write you nothing other than what you read and understand [there is no double meaning in what we say]. And I hope you will [accurately] understand [divine things] until the end; just as you have [already] partially understood us, [and one day will recognize] that you can be proud of us just as we are of you, in the day of our Lord Jesus. It was with this confidence that I planned at first to visit you, so that you might receive twice a token of grace; that is, [I wanted] to visit you on my way to Macedonia, and [then] to come back to you [on my return] from Macedonia, and have you send me on my way to Judea.

What you know is what gets you through. If you don’t know the right things when the rough winds and tsunamis of life come, you’re going to fall over. But if our lives are built on the rock solid, bedrock truth of the Bible, we know some unchanging truths.
In this journey through the Book of 2 Corinthians, All Things New explores Paul's theology of adventurous faith in this world and God's call for us to be bold. Kelly Minter helps us understand how the Christian walk may seem contrary to our natural tendencies, but it proves to be infinitely and eternally better. In this 5-day reading plan, you'll explore issues such as: how to deal with difficult relationships, trusting God with your reputation, grounding your identity in Christ, understanding the purpose of suffering and God's provision in it, and how we are to be gospel lights in the world.
